The argument seems to place a higher value on the parents' right to decide over their children's life than on the children's well-being and autonomy. Teaching your kid creationism may make you feel nice and safe, but it's not in her best interest.
Who gets to decide what's in the kids' best interests? Would you want creationists deciding your kid can't go to an atheist school?

That doesn't happen in any democracy, so I don't get the analogy. The link between democracy and rationality/science/enlightenment (pick your tag) is not a mere coincidence.

To put it another way, I'm not at all sure that a society where everyone raises their kids in their own tribe is a society with happier and more autonomous kids. I don't see how parents' rights trump child welfare considerations.

If kids are taught to reject science in favor of religious beliefs, that's not in their best interests.
