As much as I believe in "choice" when it comes to educating our children, I have to say no. When you enroll your children in a public school you have to roll with whatever curriculum is provided. If you'd like your children to be taught another "theory" homeschool them, get a private teacher or send them to a private school that teaches what you believe.

Personally, I taught (teach) my children about evolution and creation. I explained both in great detail and told them why some people believed in one and some believed the other. I like to give my children as much info as possible about most subjects. Other parents can do the same if their children are being taught evolution (if that's something they don't believe in).

I do not homeschool for religion reasons. I homeschool because I didn't want my children being taught to pass a test. I wanted them to have a love and desire for learning.

Believe me, there is NO funding. I have paid for every piece of my children's education and it's not cheap. There are public virtual schools all over the US, but the parents don't get to choose the curriculum and it's free as long as the family is enrolled. These are considered public schools though (www.k12.com).
