More than a dozen Mennonite families are leaving Quebec this week after the province deemed their community school illegal and ordered it to shut down.
The Mennonites, who live in Roxton Falls in the Eastern Townships, said they will relocate to one of seven provinces that will let them run their own schools.
"We hoped to grow old here," a tearful Ron Goosen, one of the Mennonites, told CBC News on Thursday. "We have our burial plots and we hoped to be buried here, but it doesn't look that way."
The Quebec government says the school, which teaches 11 children between the ages of six and 13, is illegal because it does not have a permit, its teachers are not licensed and it doesn't follow a standard curriculum.
The school offers religious-based courses that are rooted in the Bible and reject the theory of evolution.
The government has threatened to take legal action if the school isn't closed.

It is my understanding that the cirriculum they use is of the home-schooling sorts....which to my knowledge, does not require a 'registered' teacher, OR school.
So, WTF? Someone want to explain this to me?
