Lets extend the argument to full blown Neo-Nazi's then. By my logic, your post still stands to look the same. Would you let a Neo Nazi teach your child? After all, you did say we have freedom of belief in this great 'democracy'.
As long as there are Conservative teachers, or Labour teachers, or green teachers, or liberal democrat teachers - there's no real problem. Whilst the risk of their views rubbing off on their students is less of a problem, it's essentially the same thing.

I don't know if anyone gets their political beliefs from subtleties how their history and politics is taught, to be honest. That might be naive of me, but whilst there is always going to be the fear that your child is being spouted racist/xenophobic bullshit, so long as there's a rational majority able to play down these beliefs, there's no problem.
