I have found an answer to this question in the May issue of Saturday Night,
in an article about Keegstra and his students. According to the author
(R. M. Lee), parents and other teachers did know what Keegstra was teaching.
Many (most?) did not object. The article says that when Keegstra was fired
from his teaching job, 128 parents and former students signed a petition
to overturn the firing. The population of Eckville is supposed to be 700.
