Here’s a story about Christian homeschool science textbooks that comes as no surprise, but is still upsetting. “These books are promulgating lies to kids,” said Jerry Coyne, an ecology and evolution professor at the University of Chicago.
“Those who do not believe that the Bible is the inspired, inerrant Word of God will find many points in this book puzzling,” says the introduction to “Biology: Third Edition” from Bob Jones University Press. “This book was not written for them.”

Coyne and Virginia Tech biology professor Duncan Porter reviewed excerpts from the Apologia and Bob Jones biology textbooks, which are equivalent to ninth- and 10th-grade biology lessons. Porter said he would give the books an F.
“If this is the way kids are home-schooled then they’re being shortchanged, both rationally and in terms of biology,” Coyne said. He argued that the books may steer students away from careers in biology or the study of the history of the earth.

has been overwhelmed with posts from Home Schoolers. If you want a good reason why students dont need to be home schooled in science ,just read the mindless posts from these people. They not only have zero understanding of evolution,they have no understanding of science in general.
