l don't think requires handling at all, just like l wouldn't stop a schooled child telling an unschooled child how great they think their school is and what the things they think are good about it, an unschooled child should express their opinions also, is fine for people to have different views. If my child then asked more about why they have to go to school, l would then explain the reasons and the benefits, and that unschooling is just another option with different benefits. Really kids are far more accepting of people doing things differently, than adults. To me is really no different to DD's cousin telling DD that England is the best place to live, that is her opinion, I wouldn't tell DD her cousin is wrong just that for us we don't think it is.
I assume that for the reverse situation you wouldn't think we should be handling children to not express to your children how great they feel about their form of education e.g school?
