My kids' Catholic School did it again...

Catholic school, 3K to 8th grade...
If it's not teaching the 3Kers how to do yoga... it's presenting historical matters of race in our country to the point where my daughter, when she was in 5K, came home and actually said, "I'm really angry at white people".
The school recently hired a teacher for the 3rd grade students (the grade my daughter is going in now) who sent the children home with a letter stating that though she teaches at a Catholic school she is a practicing Lutheran... but not just that, an ELCA Lutheran. She goes on to say that she has "a strong sense of faith". I find that funny when people say that... Having a strong sense of faith instead of a strong faith. I have a strong sense of dog pooh in the yard when the neighbor's dog gets loose.... doesn't mean I hold much truck with dog pooh.
She also stated that she loves it when the children ask her questions about the differences between the faiths and is always willing to answer. Oh great... but I have to ask, how many 3rd graders come to school loaded with inter Christian denomination questions? I'm certain these only arise from the teacher's prodding.
We just got a new, younger priest, who is very traditional-leaning. I sent him an email, hopefully I get some clarification.

It's not easy.
