All I can say is that, given the state of the public schools in my area, I don't expect any of my kids to be exposed to anything even remotely resembling culture in terms of curriculum-- culture gets in the way of teaching kids to pass standardized tests (thanks NCLB). I'm not afraid to buy books and I'd rather be the person to help my present and future kids put things in context, as opposed to some teacher who I might not agree with.
