Turns out many parents who remove their children from society in order to micromanage their lives and education in an artificial reality that doesn't extend far beyond the kitchen table are using crappy textbooks. Specifically, they're using textbooks created by religious publishers who try to tell kids evolution is just another of Satan's lies. Sort of like the lie that all the other kids in the neighborhood aren't sucked into a hellish vortex for seven hours a day. This is upsetting to secular parents who just happen to order these books for their own home-schooled children, but maybe secular parents shouldn't be home-schooling their children in the first place. Unless, of course, they want their kids to break out in a cold sweat and hives every time someone asks them on a date. More details here.
