The curriculum for public schools is determined on a state level.

In short: yes. US schools teach whatever they want, and even better, it's going to get worse now that 2/3 of the states are controlled by conservatives who've spent decades gutting public schools.

They can’t teach whatever they want, but there is some degree of freedom. There are curriculum requirements mandated by the state that teachers must meet. Teachers may add to the curriculum if the content is not contested by the local Board of Education or the Parent Teacher Association.
