Contrary to your claim, the linked page implies nothing about the Bible being the "only textbook". It simply offers a set of Bible lessons for homeschoolers ("This exciting curriculum contains homeschool lessons that cover the entire Bible chronologically in four years…").

You misread the claim and are arguing against something I didn’t say.

While you only wrote that that website provides the "tools" it would have been very reasonable to infer from your comment that you were also implying that they agreed with Bible-alone teaching.
They’re pretty common, in fact. Here’s a curriculum company that’ll gladly give you the tools: https://answersingenesis.org/homeschool-edition/
“The Bible is the only education you need” is a very common meme among evangelical Christians.
> and in most states you need to file a curriculum every year that gets reviewed and approved.
Most states have almost no recourse to reject submitted curricula, no matter how specious they are. One homeschool lobby has a 24/7 legal hotline specifically for subverting these mild attempts at accountability.
