There are ideology issues in every stream of education. I went to a religious high school where the majority of students came out of it as atheist/agnostic despite their parents or teachers intentions. I think that’s more valuable than reaching the same conclusion because your parents told you to.

I don't think pointing to other ideologies really absolves the issue of unneeded political ideologies pushed on kids.

I think the point would be to strive for less ideology, not justify more using the existence of others.

Nearly every LGBT person I know (myself included!) was raised by straight, cisgender parents.

You can only impose so many opinions on kids; they grow up and become their own people.
