I'd find a private school / homeschool argument disingenuous, so I'm with you that far.
Google Classroom is a fair point (schools also use Google Docs and the like as well), but I don't believe it holds water.
Governments would be well within their rights not to award contracts to, or use the services of, companies they felt were not respecting the values of free speech. The difference between this and active regulation are that one is voluntary for the company (must obey this term for eligibility for extra reward) and one is mandatory (must obey this term or be punished by the law).
I don't have much to say about communicating to parents through Facebook, other than that they should still offer optional email communication.

I agree that the optimal solution would be for local governments to not rely on Google like this. What's not clear to me is what the best course of action is in the world in which they _are_. I think having "no propaganda aimed at elementary school students" regulation may be the only way to solve the coordination problem here, but of course that has the obvious flaw of it being hard to agree on a definition of "propaganda"...
