Stuff like this is why we get parents claiming that teachers are trying to indoctrinate children.

At this point the evidence is pretty clear that is the case.. well maybe not "indoctrination" but for sure many many school systems do not share the value system of the parents sending their kids to the schools

The question then becomes who's value system should "win", IMO it should be the parents, the parents should have the final say in their child's upbringing not the schools or "community".

Did you read the article? Because there's a paywall. If you didn't, can you explain what you mean?

I saw no paywall. I'm guessing you aren't using an adblocker.

I know that posting articles behind a paywall is allowed but, frankly, I don't think it should be. A link to a page that just says "give us money" is just an advert. Here's a Wired article discussing the article: https://www.wired.com/2008/02/lego-building-a/

I don't get a paywall, and several other commenters also don't get a paywall.

I don't know your setup and can't help, but other people are talking about ad-blockers and the like.
