Regarding "being queer or atheist," it is the parent's job to instill values and translate what children see into something they can understand and how it fits into a particular family's values. Everyone has to integrate into society eventually.
You are conflicting your own logic. On one hand you say that "exposure to things outside makes you well rounded" but then you say that "it's the parents job to instill values". So does the exposure to outside things over-ride the parent's influence or not?
I believe that the parents would have instilled their values even if the kids were exposed to the well-rounding outside things. Hence, there is no inherent evil to home-schooling. Besides, as I said before: "I seriously doubt that these girls grew up in a vacuum. They watch TV, listen to music, talk with friends. They may be deceived but they are not naive."
