No it isn't obvious. I have seen faith-based cirriculums that do NOT teach creationism as a scientific alternative to evolution. Like I've said before, it doesn't surprise me that you and others seem to believe that the 'anti-evolution' viewpoint is shared by ALL Christians.

Whoa, pull back the reigns there! You are exaggerating what I am saying, oh, just a bit. I never said they weren't getting a good education, I feel as though there could be a problem with their education. I've listened to the "first hand" accounts. I haven't ignored them. She lived in the village and home schooled her children. Her children didn't appear to attended the school, she didn't seem to teach at the school. She mostly spoke of her person experience with her children. I fail to see the relevance of it. Funny that you brough up tolerance, because freeschools didn't want her children to follow the 'progay' cirriculum of the province. Yeah real tolerant of her.
I'm not exaggerating at all. This whole thread has been dominated by intolerance and arrogance towards these people. People who have a different viewpoint are suddenly ignorant and brain-washed.

And teaching your children at home is not being in-tolerant of other viewpoints. It is her right what she chooses to teach her children. The government has no right to take that 'right' away from her or any other parents.

As long of course, as the children meet the educational needs of the state. Which they have.

I'm done here. There is no point in continuing.
