If they forced females to wear veils, that's one thing. But if they decided to have muslim creationist beliefs (and I profess my ignorance on what those might be, i assume similar to christian beliefs) i would have no problem with that. I don't see this as some indoctrinization, I see it as parents having the right to decide their schools curriculum.
