"Michael Farris, cofounder of the Home School Legal Defense Association, has called for an amendment to the U.S. Constitution to protect the right of parents to educate their children at home, in light of such developments in Europe."
The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.
H. L. Mencken (1880 - 1956)
I plead with any wealthy German Christians to please take this girl back by force, and assist the family to relocate outside of the Fourth Reich.
God forbid we give asylum to good familes like this, instead of vermin from Somalia, Bosnia and Iraq.
This will happen in the USA too. The left hates homeschooling, because the left loses its iron grip on the minds of kids and knows that parents are teaching their kids about GOD!
Looks like totalitarainism is slowly returning to Germany.
This is a good example of why Americans need assault weapons. Eventually, the government will come after Christians homeschooling children in this nation. And they will need to be ready to defend themselves using all available weaponry.
Things such as this, and this week's decision by a federal judge in this country that Christian children in MA must be indoctrinated with gay propaganda, are a casus belli as far as I'm concerned. Politically-speaking, of course. For now.
Not at all.
Complete insanity. Sending prayers for this family - they are in dire need of them.
Bump to the panic sellers.

It didn't say, but I was wondering if the family in question was of what's known as the Volga Germen (aka Volga Russian), German immigrants to Russia during the 1800's with a tradition of homeschooling. A large number of them returned to their native homes after the Berlin Wall fell.
Ping.
Look what 'the boys' are up to... They cry "Wolf" so often, it's hard to assess what is really going on sometimes. I know Germany has some iron-clad laws. But you gotta wonder if they're running low on funds, too, given their track record.
What is the current state of the Free Exercise clause?
That's a fascinating story about the "White Rose."
The Germans can teach us a lot. First they come for the guns; then they come for the children.
Please, enlighten us. Don't be the only one who knows this story is false. Give us the true details, and a link to your source. Unless you're just making it up as you go along.
What's the thing with the white rose?
Nevermind, I didn't notice the link to that white rose article.
If they expelled the girl from school, where else was she to get an education from besides home?
Where the parents supposed to send the girl on to a private school?
You know if I was the parents I might just let the government have the kids, but I would instruct the children while they are in the hands of the government to break windows, set fires to the property, and cause massive havoc until the authorities begged the parents to take the kids back.
A roll of toilet paper flushed in a toilet and plugging it up can do massive damage to a building if done late at night and the toilet is allowed to keep running. Flooded rooms and water soaked carpets which would cause money to fix. Heck, all the kids would have to do is bust a sprinkler head and it would flood a building and then the government would be out more than $10k to repair and clean the building.
I remember some morons in high school were goofing off and broke a sprinkler head. The clean up was over $10k and that was back in 1990.
