To judge home-school applicants, they rely mostly on standardised tests of factual knowledge. Such tests cannot, however, reveal whether or not a student understands scientific method, a compulsory subject in public schools but not for home-schoolers.
Abeka, the publisher of the 9th grade science book that this article singles out, teaches the scientific method. Sounds like evolutionists are scared of the acedemic success of home-schoolers.

Proud father of a PHC student, here. I guarantee you that the average kid at PHC could wipe the floor with the average public high school science teacher in a discussion of Darwin's theory of evolution AND the many changes that have taken place in science theory over the past 140 years to gloss over the now-obvious mistakes Darwin made. What I mean is, the kids at PHC understand evolutionary theory better than the average science teacher. They simply don't accept it.
