It's the role of government to keep order in a society, not mold the society into the image it wants it to take. The latter responsibility belongs to society itself, and neither social customs nor morals can be legislated.
But gummint gonna do what gummint gonna do.
So, the proper recourse for outraged parents is to counter social propaganda promoted by government onto unsuspecting children at home, until such time as they can reshape the government into the image THEY want IT to take to conform to the society. That's the way it's supposed to work, not the other way 'round. Their mistake as parents is in allowing their government to get out of hand, and clearly they have already done that if government is attempting to shape a society they don't want to be in. They've put the cart before the horse, and have allowed it to get bass ackwards.
Either "modify" the lessons their kids are receiving with what they consider proper instruction or pull their kids out of public school and home school them in the lessons the parents want them to learn. Meanwhile, reshape the rogue government at their earliest opportunity via their votes. Just sitting there spinning their wheels and yelling while smoke flies out their ears ain't gonna change anything at all. We learned that in Virginia with the Leftist Overlords who were trying to transform us into a serf society by disarming us and pushing the CRT bullshit on our kids in school. We refused to comply, and sent a bunch of them packing in the very next election to reshape our government to conform more closely to our society.
We demonstrated to them how it really works, and which way the power really flows. They work for us, we don't work for them. Some times, they have to be reminded of that fact when their aspirations outweigh their asses.
Now, the fact is, there really ARE people who suffer genuine gender dysphoria, That is not something little kids need educated about. That just confuses little kids, and opens the door for too many of them the start questioning what they never had any reason to question before. It holds potential to generate faux gender dysphoria, which will effectively remove the spotlight from folks really experiencing it, and marginalize them. Care for such people will inevitably suffer as finite resources are spread out over a wider base that didn't need to be there in the first place. Kids already know what they identify as, and don't need to be further confused. That makes it tougher to identify, diagnose, and treat the genuine cases while wading through all the fake and generated ones.
I personally think schools everywhere are stepping outside their remit by foisting all the "social", and unnecessary and useless, classes onto kids. They should instead just teach what has become known as "STEM" classes, because that is what kids need to succeed, and leave all the "social justice" lessons to society itself, which starts with parents interacting with their kids at home.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
