Atheists; what do you base your morals on?

[Whateverist]

The ice cream analogy works pretty damn well. What we feed kids at school are just the non-controversial parts. Any flourishes you want to add are up to you. Want them to meditate before a statue of the buddha? That's on you. Want them to light incense at an alter to the Hindu gods? You again. Want them to believe there is no god? You've got to do it. Want them to believe the world was created in seven days about 6000 years ago at which time folks rode around on dinosaurs? Totally up to you. Sprinkle your ice cream with what you like.

As a secular society -you know, separation of church and state- what we teach in school should be non-controversial. If what you believe is controversial in a secular society, it's on you to provide your own indoctrination. Society as a whole is not served by providing it for you. Say you're some survivalist nutter and want your kids to fear the government and prepare for anarchy. Why in the world would we provide that in schools? Why should we let every fringe group allocate their portion of tax revenue as they see fit? The only sensible thing to do is provide the non-controversial education which serves the needs of a secular society and let everyone add their own toppings to that. And I wouldn't care if Christians made up 99% of the population, the minority is entitled to some rights as well and a secular society has a stake in ensuring those.
