I suppose if you go to a religious school you'd get religious instruction, but that's what your folks sent you there for, isn't it?
I don't know what it might be like outside of NYC.
Fun fact, in college my professor for a Mass Media course was Sr. Camille D'arienzo, who is a radio personality in NYC.... and in her college course, she STILL did not inject her faith into the curriculum.
If a nun can avoid teaching religion in a class that has nothing to do with religion, then what's the excuse of any layperson forcing their views on students?
I had some teachers who injected their faith into everything -- and I do mean everything -- in early primary. But they weren't remotely liberal, they were "believe as we believe and do as we do or you will burn, burn forever in a fiery lake".
From year two (age 7) onwards, I had many wonderful teachers (and some less-great ones) and I am not sure what faith (if any) any of them had. Not one of them ever told me, nor raised it in my classes, nor injected it into my curriculum (even when teaching RE). It wasn't relevant.
