If they receive public money, they may not introduce religious concepts into science courses. A chain of charters in Texas does indeed seem to be working around the ban on religious doctrine, a ban tested in court, by using tricky language e.g. "Evolution is one theory; there are competing theories." However sooner or later they'll probably be taken to court and lose. Probably nationwide, 99% of charter schools are secular and do indeed teach proper broadly accepted science and other subjects.
