Even education can break the rules

I held a conversation with my fourteen year-old brother about a somewhat controversial issue.  He attends a private Catholic high school, and he asked me this question, "How does faith perfect reason?".
I composed an answer somewhere along the lines of, "Faith and reason cannot "perfect" eachother.  Faith relies on a personal religion and moral values, while reason uses facts".
Thinking I had totally impressed him by nailing the answer, he surprised me with his reply, "You are incorrect!"  He continued on and told me that the answer he learned in school was that faith makes a human whole, and therefore allows someone to reason.  In a public school, religion is a discouraged topic because of its controversy, while at a private, Catholic school, the topic of religion is the basis of learning. It's odd how even though we are both from the same upbringing, we hold completely different views.  Our own personal viewpoint is one we have developed through our learning and is "the only right answer".  In my opinion, many things surrounding education are much too insensitive.

While viewpoints are a majorly corrupted part of education, there are still other aspects that are also neglected.  Sherman Alexie's The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven dedicates a portion of his book to his education and how it relates to that of other people's.  Alexie, a member of an Indian tribe, attends a "normal" high school, while the rest of the kids in his tribe attend the one on the reservation.  Throughout his high school career, many elements that create an education are explored, from teachers to high school mascots.  Alexie never receives the attention in school that the other white kids at school receive because he is Indian.  As Alexie graduates at the end of their senior year, he and the rest of his class are mentioned in the reservation's newspaper.  Much to Alexie's dismay, he again lacks recognition because he is presented as equal to the rest of the kids, despite the fact that Alexie is valedictorian and received a much more rigorous education at his school than the reservation kids did.  The time and effort each student puts in their work is neither acknowledged nor distinguished even by his tribe.
Alexie's message is strikingly similar to issues that supposedly have already been solved.  The famous Brown vs Board of Education court case ruled schools could no longer segregate (therefore discriminate), and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights goes into detail about the rights every person has in terms of speech, expression, and personality.  Does education interfere with these rulings and freedoms?
