It is an old issue which occasionally can cause heirs to be educated in a weird way (e.g. heir of a Catholic empire becomes Norse Germanic).

I am not sure whether it is "bug" per se, but from the event's code it seems that the AI can unconstrained possibility of changing the focus to heritage even if it would educate heir in a different culture or religion.

The decision change_wards_focus_to_heritage

and the code is

ai_will_do = {
            factor = 1
            modifier = {
                factor = 0.5
            }
        }

As I understand, it might be an overlook - and there should be another modifier which sets the factor to 0 if the educator is of wrong culture/religion. Something like this:

ai_will_do = {
            factor = 1
            modifier = {
                NOT = {
                    educator = {
                        culture = FROM
                        religion = FROM
                    }
                }
                factor = 0
            }
        }

The decision code:

change_wards_focus_to_heritage  = {
        only_playable = yes
        filter = court
        ai_target_filter = court
        ai_check_interval = 12
     
        from_potential = {
            is_playable = yes
            has_dlc = "Zeus"
        }
     
        potential = {
            is_adult = no
            NOR = {
                has_character_flag = guardian_asked_to_change_focus
                has_focus = focus_ch_heritage
                character = FROM
            }
            host = { character = FROM }
            OR = {
                liege = { character = FROM }
                prisoner = yes
            }
            OR = {
                is_landed = no
                is_liege_or_above = FROM
                prisoner = yes
            }
            NOT = {
                educator = {
                    culture = ROOT
                    religion = ROOT
                }
            }
        }
     
        allow = {
            NOT = {
                age = 10
            }
        }
     
        effect = {
            set_character_flag = guardian_asked_to_change_focus
            if = {
                limit = {
                    OR = {
                        liege = { character = FROM }
                        prisoner = yes
                    }
                }
                hidden_tooltip = {
                    clear_focus = yes
                }
                set_focus = focus_ch_heritage
                break = yes
            }
            hidden_tooltip = {
                liege = {
                    letter_event = { id = ZE.2130 days = 5 }
                }
            }
        }
        revoke_allowed = {
            always = no
        }
        ai_will_do = {
            factor = 1
            modifier = {
                factor = 0.5
            }
        }
    }

I just discovered this issue myself after playing my first proper game with Conclave enabled in which crusades were triggered when the kingdom of France was inherited by an Ashkenazi Jew and in which the Mongol empire turned into the empire of Tibet precisely because of this issue.

A little craziness is fun and all, but given how the AI can initially pick neither the Heritage nor the Faith focus if the child's religion and/or culture match the liege, the decision to switch to those two foci should be prohibited for the AI as well.

Luckily it should be fairly easy to mod.

But weird to see that nobody else notices this, to me it looks like an extremely immersion-breaking feature which makes AI even less capable of posing a threat to the player.
