The children were two grades ahead, even - he ordered them into public school because he didn't agree with the worldview they were being taught:
Thomas Mills also said he was "concerned about the children's religious-based science curriculum" and that he wants "the children to be exposed to mainstream science, even if they eventually choose to believe creationism over evolution." (emphasis mine)
Last I checked, very few public schools allow creationism or intelligent design to even be mentioned, and teachers who promote the "wrong" viewpoint are often hounded out of their jobs. While I personally think children should be introduced to both theories and the science (or lack thereof) behind them, nobody should be barred from homeschooling just because they teach from the Bible. The state has no right to tell you what to believe, and it's the height of hypocrisy anyway.
