Because the responses I crafted myself to someone who uses a thought experiment starting with "it should be no problem to teach about Christianity in a school context, in terms of informing pupils that this is what many people believe." were less courteous than I wanted my posted response to be. Teaching anything about religion in public schools should be considered complicated, in my opinion. You are never just "informing pupils" in a public school setting and, as an example, if you botch your lesson on 9/11 you might get a muslim kid bullied or beat up. "But I simply informed the students that all of the terrorists who attacked the WTC were muslim! it is the truth after all!"

Furthermore, I had the gut reaction that your portrayal of how gender identity is taught in public schools is likely bad, but I did't have the time to run that stuff down. So as a consolation prize I offer one of GPT 4.5's takes on your response; Specifically I asked it to identify the hypocrisy in your response. I should probably have a more nuanced prompt in this case, and I would also encourage you to have a more nuanced view of teaching religion in public school.
