I was raised a Pentecostal, back then you learned evolution and added a little caveat about believing in literal biblical creation. This idea that you shouldn't even know what the science says is kind of new. And in my opinion, more likely to make their children atheists in the long run. No one likes finding out they've been deliberately kept ignorant.
Abusive by the parents? I'd say no. They're doing the best they know how by their children, and it's not like they're denying them medical care or neglecting their education entirely. It's not physical or emotional abuse, it's just an honest failure to ensure their children receive an adequate education.
An evasion on the part of the school to meet its responsibility to teach what children will need to know to pass science standards in high school, yes.
