If you are willing to make the state the primary educator of your children, and not the parents, you have already lost the fight.

I am offended that you put "rights" in quotation marks. The family is SUPERIOR to the state. The state does not ordinarily have the authority to force children into government "education" centers.

"The "Schulpflicht", the duty to attend a accredited private or public school, is part of our way of live. Therefore it is not negotiable"

If you cannot even stop honor killings, you are incapable of protecting your "way of life." Not all who homeschool are fundamentalist (we do, and we're Catholic). Modern secular schools are making the mess that is allowing the Muslims to gain a foothold in your country. Your country is trying very hard to make sure that nobody who would resist them is given the tools or the spine to do so.

Which fight?

And the personal right on information and education of each kid is SUPERIOR to the right of the family to keep the control over its members.

If you cannot even stop honor killings, you are incapable of protecting your "way of life.

You have no idea. Are you Americans able to control every BS committed by your underdogs? To give you a example: Los Angeles riots

Modern secular schools are making the mess that is allowing the Muslims to gain a foothold in your country. Your country is trying very hard to make sure that nobody who would resist them is given the tools or the spine to do so.

Might be the case in your country. Nevertheless this is not so in Germany. German schools are not secular. They provide religious education (not obligatory - Evangelical Christians have the alternative to stay away). Due to the fact that practically all German Christians are either catholic or Lutheran such is easy. The lessons are usually given by clergymen and/or teachers who received a special tutorial from the two churches. Furthermore there is the possibility to give the kids into accredited private schools that provide a special (religious) program (i.e. Evangelical, even Muslim or last but not least absolutely no religion) but also a basement of education. I have two of my sons on a private catholic school that is operated by Jesuites.

Nevertheless there is nobody who is able to dictate us how we should operate our education system. Therefore we will kick the a*ses of "home schoolers" now and in the future since we do not understand the value but are well aware of the dangers. Different countries different attitudes. Live with it.
