However, some people seem to be homeschooling their children partly, or even mainly, because they don't want them exposed to any instruction on evolution. I have read blogs by homeschoolers who have used materials by Kent Hovind, even after he has been placed in prison, apparently as their main source of "science" information. See <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kent_Hovind" rel="nofollow">here</a> for the Wikipedia article on Hovind, and <a href="http://sunandshield.blogspot.com/search?q=Hovind" rel="nofollow">here</a> for my own reaction to some of his materials.
