I don't think you should feel the need to justify yourself, or your children, in any way at all.

Unfortunately, and not for the first time, what has been encountered here is a pattern classically associated with the behaviour of a prig. I'm not sure there's much that can be done to change it. Probably best to rise above it and move on. Hard I know, particularly when it affects your children, but I think anything else is probably fruitless effort. Personal biases, black and white world views and lack of qualified knowledge are hard to overturn.
