and leave it at that?

Ignorance is a way of controlling the masses. Appealing to prejudice is also a way of controlling the masses. Denying facts is attempting to control the masses by influencing what information is allowed. He wants to teach his children what he believes - but if his belief denies fact then he is hoping to control his children through ignorance. And not just his children when he attempts to impose his beliefs on others through public policy.
