Would something like "Yes, because as we all know, children's civil rights are violated when they are encouraged to be contributing members of their families and society" work, or is that too subtle (and therefore likely to be seen as agreeing with his underlying, baseless point)? Or should I just give up, ignore it and figure there's no hope?

Hmm. Your dad's words seem relatively tame (but I do not have your context or history, so that is just my impression). My policy is to just let it go when it comes to parents. But I have an extremely hands-off relationship with my parents. Yours may be different.
