If you mean that your child can mouth off or be flippant, that won't fly but respectful discussion and disagreement is a part of any good classroom.  My Catholic but politically pro-choice DD has no problems with discussions in class, advocating for women in positions of authority in the Church, leaning in on so-called banned books (they are NOT banned at her school, to be clear, just those in the cultural environment these days) and similar.

I don’t by any means think mouthing off. Child is opinionated, but respectful and K-8 was very good at facilitating respectful discussion of different view points. [/quote]

Your DC should be fine then.  Homework is no joke.  As an example of what I was saying, coincidentally to this thread this happened just yesterday.  Apparently DD's theology teacher said something about how you could all be future popes. My DD apparently immediately said "Actually, no.  Half of us can't, which is a real problem in the Church."  The teacher quickly backtracked and apologized for the statement. It was a dumb and probably off the cuff statement speaking to them about living out and being a leader in their faith, but my point is she was not penalized in any way for speaking up on a contentious issue.
