A few thoughts:

A good school and a good teacher will let you know what topics are going to be covered on a week by week basis. If this was a school mandated program you should have been given a heads up.

Talk to the teacher and the principal. Find out the whole story. You need more information. Was this intentional? Was it school sponsored?Plus they need to know how this came across. If your child got that idea, you can bet that other kids in the class did too.

Home schooling is a big effort. If you can solve the problem through better communication with your child's teacher and school, you have saved yourself a lot of work.

In any case, you should be having ongoing conversations with your child's teacher. You cannot assume that your child will get a good education unless you are willing to be active and involved.

One more thing. I notice that you're in Utah. It may be possible that the teacher's personal opinions are coming out in his/her lessons. Make sure they understand that this is not acceptable to you.
