Absolutely, all politics is local and the plural of anecdote isn’t data. I only homeschooled for a single year. I fully expect the communities to vary by region.

To be fair the topic of evolution only came up because the arborist made an off hand comment about how a particular tree had evolved from a tree that is native to warmer climates to survive in our area and it caused a bit of a stir with the parents. I think the park service got some sternly worded letters afterward.
