How is no homework the same as less homework?
IMO those parents are over reacting. I got my fair share of homework and it didn't hurt me. When it did it was because I was too lazy to organise my time better and always leaving projects to the last minute.
If your struggling in a subject how is a student going to get better without any homework. I was bad at math and often had homework in that area to improve my skills.
