We are conservatives and our 3 kids attend a fairly liberal public school district. Most parents and teachers are very reasonable (not overtly political) and focus on the most important thing: strong education for the kids. Our school board is a bit loony, but that doesn’t have much effect on the day-to-day.
However, we don’t discuss politics in public and generally teach our kids the same (our kids high school and middle school age). Most families seem similar.

I'm currently in MCPS and while we're not attending the March for Life, it's a bit too blue for me here (e.g., in a recent conversation with a daycare parent, she decried the "heteronormative stereotypes" of Golden Books-- a pretty typical viewpoint here).
Considering Burke but suspicious that Fairfax County Public Schools are the same, or will be by the time my kids are school age.

Really? Most of our military community are supportive of a woman's right to choose. I wouldn't assume that most military in this area have the same set of values that the OP's friend is looking for. There are plenty of gay people in the military, too.
This totally depends on rank, race, education level, and a host of other things. Wealthy women have abortions, but being vocally pro-choice is lower class.

Huh?
Military is hardly synonymous with “conservative.” Certainly not the brand of conservative OP is describing.
The military is a pretty woke place and radical political displays such as March for Life will be out-of-step with mainstream values of people living in a military community.
Oh look, it's "huh" lady. You know that makes you sound really stupid, right?
I work at the Pentagon. Most of the people I work with are fairly conservative (not MAGA conservative, but rather traditionally conservative). If OP wants true family values, I agree with these communities. If she wants MAGA, then she needs to move to McLean.
Enlisteds are conservative. Especially Air Force, ugh. Officers generally aren't because of their level of education. Being around the military is no guarantee that you'll be in the presence of forced birthers and homophobes like OP wants.
Hate to break it to you, but there are many educated military officers who are also conservative. They probably won’t discuss their views in front of you, but they’re there.
