That's actually really interesting/ironic, given that a common "conservative" gripe against liberals is the whole "nanny state" argument. I'm more inclined to think that you've been blessed with a competent administration staff than that it has to do with location though.

I'm from a very conservative/religious area, and my husband is a public school administrator. He's at high school level, so I can't speak to recess, but I do know that his district takes IEPs very seriously, and that he took them seriously as a teacher too.
My elementary aged son has moderate ASD: for the first two years his teachers did fantastic with him, the last year there were some major changes in leadership and the effects trickled down. The teachers still cared, but their administration no longer equipped or supported them. It was no longer a good fit and we ended up pulling him out. SO much depends on the individual district/school and whether the people running it know what they're doing (and care enough to do it right).
