Of course parents are the best care takers of their children. No one loves them more, and sure you are going to have exceptions - but that does not give the government the right to run rough shod over parental prerogative.
By ideally, I mean "good", well-informed parents with no other agenda. "The government riding roughshod over [insert prerogative here]" is true by implication as "roughshod" has a negative connotation and so what you said is automatically correct.
A sensible parent would realize that school has much greater part to play in the child's life than just teaching "three Rs". Presenting alternative points of view is one of them. It has to be done in the right way of course, and I would support protest against, say, militant atheism being pushed on to children of religious parents. That doesn't mean that nothing should be taught under the heading of "religion". What I'm trying to say here was well argued by Starlight. One day, your children will make up their own minds about these things. Wouldn't you rather that they were in full possession of all the facts? You're not going to be able to lock them in a box forever, so wouldn't it be better to be able to give your point of view while they still somewhat respect your opinion? You still have them for all the time they are not in school.

Even forgetting that level of bad stuff, even the best intentioned parents can't provide the full spectrum that a good school education can.A happy family is but an earlier heaven.

What "it" is to me is the teaching of current medical findings on transexuality. That would include a lot more than just not being able to change DNA. I would consider referring to her as "she" is simple politeness and respect. What harm does it do?A happy family is but an earlier heaven.

How about the politeness towards the student who doesn't want to lie and call a boy a girl? This is exactly why people like you should not be in charge.

No. Kids need to be protected and raised in such a way that when they encounter problems they are able to handle them and make logical, sound and right decisions. That's not to say you "hide them" or destroy them or keep them from everything, but as a parent the right thing to do is provide a filter, a safe home that is free from the dangers of the external world and a listening/compassionate ear. That way when your kids come home and say "My friend brought in a magazine with nude photos" you can talk about why it's wrong, how to stay strong, stand your ground and say no, even if it means some rejection initially.
I'm going to write a more general post, please read it.

The schools should not be taking a side on this, but they are. Like fostering Gay pride Week:

Ok. This why we will never agree on this subject.
You: LGBTQ behavior and life styles are not normal and moral because God says so. Me: Yes they are. Sexual acts, gay or straight, in or out of marriage are not bad in and of themselves. The test is if harm is done to others.
You: LGBTQ folks are constantly trying to corrupt our children. Me: No. They are trying to help those who are struggling with desires that much of society condemns. They recognize that you are gay or straight and you can't help that.
You: Some people are going too far in supporting LGBTQ people because they see them as victims. Me: I agree, but I understand why they would do that. I wish they wouldn't do it though.
You: Nudity is wrong. Me: Not to me it isn't.
I could go on. I can understand your point of view. Can you understand mine?

The point is that there really isn't enough time to teach all sides -- even when there are instances where different points of view are legitimate. Especially when they are young children. That IS the time you simply stress the facts and in latter years you can start presenting alternative points of view on issues to be discussed.
For instance, it is a biological fact that a biological male can NOT "transform" into a biological female. No matter what you might snip off or add. No matter what drugs you take. And no matter how much someone may insist otherwise, a biological male is still a biological male and will remain so. Period.
