That’s the point – to find the things in common, to show that among frum Jews-for example, even those coming from a Litvish Israeli community and a Chasidish community in Kiryat Yoel-, we have more that is the same about us than what is different.
By the way, I don’t think it is a good idea for mosdos of any kind to teach hashkafos of other communities- chinuch is not a multiple choice assignment. But exposure, or acknowledgment of the existence of other Torah-valid hashkafos can be done in an informal manner, like through the stories they read, the pictures of kids in their textbooks, etc. Unless you feel “my way is the only way, everything else is the same as Reform and therefore should not be acknowledged at all”, then of course someone who cannot live that way would become not frum- afterall, that’s the message he got his entire life.
