Being superficially nice to parents while working behind their back to destroy them is not having "private views" that won't hurt kids. (Incidentally, the friend might have seen the teacher post on a Facebook group or something - they needn't be personally friended on FB for the friend to have seen something that couldn't be found on a public search.)

It comes down to the famous quotation by Robert Jones, Jr. (often misattributed to James Baldwin - Jones used to post on Twitter as "Son of Baldwin"): "We can disagree and still love each other unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist."

[edited to add: "it’s clear that this woman is good at her job as a teacher" - I'll take "Things That Are Not Fucking Clear" for $500]
