You're talking about values. I think a government is free to spout off about whatever values they want, ingraining it into our children through public education is a different story isn't it? Multiculturalism is a Liberal government project, it is a political ideological agenda, whether you think it good or bad is irrelevant to that fact. Democracy is a bit different as it's built into our constitution from the start, though I'm not sure i'd support our teachers cheerleading "democracy", they're paid to discuss it and teach it, not sell it to kids.
You seem to think this doesn't happen today.
It's fine to teach the concept of ie: multiculturalism vs melting pot etc. (I learned it in school), it's not fine to parrot partisan government lines. If you disagree then consider if schools taught your children that a melting pot and assimilation is better than multiculturalism, and how you'd feel? I don't think public schools should be installing values and morals, that's the job of parents.

And lso... why do you think *I* would feel something ? Do you see me pushing hard on this one way or the other ? To the point where I would feel something or maybe get upset ?
I like to discuss things and consider different angles on public morality without being invested in it, so much.
Remembrance Day...well that's a pretty non-partisan thing. You're basically a huge jerk not to take a minute to give thanks and respect for the people who died defending your rights. The day doesn't celebrate specific wars, it celebrates the soldiers who sacrificed in those wars. The soldiers who were drafted in WWI and WWII didn't even have a choice to fight. It would be different to teach "this war was just, and this war wasn't". That's not a public school's job.
Everything is political. There are people who think that Remembrance Day legitimizes war, yes.
