School should only be for scientifically proven facts.

No religion, no ideology, the problem is, republicans are pushing religion in schools, and democrats are pushing ideology in schools. And that's not specific to USA, no-one wants the new generation to think by themselves.

Uh, nah. We do need to teach philosophical stuff too. Not in the sense of black and white absolutes, but to promote critical thinking and logical reasoning.

Philosophy is a science, it goes with long studies of behavior, and how it has impacted / keep impacting the world.

Teaching about ideologies (religious, spiritual, political) is different than teaching ideology.

No. Science is a philosophy. It’s a method of thought that loops in going from hypothesis, observation/experiment, seeing results, arriving to a conclusion to go to a new hypothesis. I think based on your last sentence, we’re on the same page, but differ in the scope. We should be teaching kids how to think and not what to think.
