I found this in the article: “They’re exposed to ... evolution ...”
Know-nothing anti-science Christians think evolution threatens their idiotic cult and they're right. Evolution kills Christianity and most other religions. Their solution is home schooling so their children (victims) learn how to be science deniers, aka stupid.
This is totally wrong and it should not be allowed. Every student should receive competent education about evolution. This is a basic human right. I suggest allow the home schooling but require they go to a normal school for science education.
This quote is from Jerry Coyne, University of Chicago biologist:
"But, as Lovan noted in his piece, “83 percent of home-schooling parents want to give their children ‘religious or moral instruction.’” I weep for those children. For many of them are simply being brainwashed by their parents. Yes, that’s what it is—brainwashing. For a parent to ignore 150 years of solid science, feeding their children lies based on theology, is to deprive those children of the wonder of the universe—a wonder based on truth rather than medieval superstition. It kills off the part of a child that most needs nurturing: her sense of wonder, and all the possibilities of life that are opened up by that wonder. How many budding biologists have been stifled by their parents’ willful ignorance of science, and on their insistence that the Bible is the real source of biological information? Generation after generation of ignorance and religious dogmatism, all perpetuated by religiously based home-schooling."
