If a racist does not want his child to be taught that black and white people are equal should he/she have the right to stop the school from teaching this?

So handle each case as it arises. Is there classes teaching kids not to make fun of fat people? Or red headed people? or skinny people? We dont need the school to teach things that are imoral to our children. And the majority of parents feel that way. Why shouldnt we be heard? There OUR children.
