Did the article say why the parents were homeschooling? Many American parents who homeschool do so because the public schools don't offer a quality education. However, the schools in Belgium are far better than the schools in the United States, with students testing far higher in every catagory.

Political dissent is a prosecutable crime now in Belgium? I'm not entirely familiar with their system of government but this seems a most socialist move on their part. Apparently, as I'm sure others have noted, crimes committed by the Muslim immigrant community have slipped under the radar. It seems that protests and political dissent and outright crimes by the Muslim immigrant community are somehow not criminal, yet homeschooling is? Interesting...

This case serves to illustrate the contempt that the European elite have for education.Make no mistake this is about the US homeschool movement.

Our ugly factory schools were given to us by the European elites. They conned our leaders into believing that culture and art depended on the masses being kept down and out. Of course, power hungry people never need an excuse to keep the weak in the dungeon of ignorance.

If you really want to make the people of the EU and UN pee themselves, you should join the NRA even if you do not own a gun and have never fired a gun before. The only thing these people fear more than an educated populous is an armed populous.

Except that we are not "radical right wing" homeschoolers, we are mainstream conservative homeschoolers.

The public and many private schools in America are the result of radical, extremist leftists.

To them anything right of Joe Liebermann is "The Radical Right Wing".

I thought it appropos to use that since it was supposed to be a fake, but accurate, DU response.
