The curriculum teaches provable/observable micro-evolutionary adaptation within the species. No disagreement there with any other school. Since wolves and dogs belong to the same species, C. Lupus, of course it's proven.

My kids do study macro-evolution also but only to the point that they understand the theory. They know that it is a theory and has countless holes that have not been resolved.

Here's part you don't grasp about homeshcooling: this is MY school and it will reflect my beliefs. That's why I homeschool. If you don't like my teaching - don't send your kids to my house! Notice that my school, unlike public schools, is willing to inform its students of theories that contradict our core beliefs! I don't have to but do, public schools should but don't.

Now, as for public schools . . . they use my money to shovel bad science to kids who swallow it whole and ignore ID as if it doesn't exist as an alternate theory.

Strike one: Domestic dogs are not members of C. lupus. And "macroevolution" is equally "provable/observable" -- you're doing your kids a huge disservice if you falsely tell them that it's not.

Such as? Let's see if you're teaching your children science -- or propaganda.

Just be sure you're not crippling your kids' education by teaching them creationist misinformation.

Most creationist homeschooling curricula are prime examples of "shoveling bad science to kids who swallow it whole". You wouldn't be using Kent Hovind's materials, would you?

I'm sorry but that was a very good line and I just had to repeat it! I'm all for vouchers too.
