This immigrant family is one I can get behind.

Wilkommen, Flüchtlinge!

THIS IS FANTASTIC NEWS!!!! It isn’t merely wonderful for the family, but it is a slap in the face of the German educational fascists and our home grown educational fascists like Robert Reich.

[Timocrat]

This is excellent. Any time the Euros start lecturing us about Capital Punishment being a violation of Human Rights we can throw this back in their faces.

This is great news. Welcome to these German Christians from a fellow Christian homeschooler.

We can’t expect every country to follow our constitution,”

I'd be happy if the the folks in Washington, DC followed our Constitution, Judge.

Germans make great Americans. There are tons of pockets of historic German immigrant settlements, PA, upstate NY, in the South and out West too. Lots of people there can speak both German and English.

If I remember this case correctly, German officials removed the oldest daughter from the family and sent her to a foster home on the grounds that she must be crazy for not wanting to go intto the public school system. The girl ran away from the foster home and rejoined her family, who fled the country.

Mini Hitler...homeschoolers ought to start reminding Germany, this is how Hitler acted toward certain Germans.

This family has been persecuted for years. It is inspiring that they continued to stand up for their beliefs and terrific that they are finally safe.

I hope they choose to live here in Memphis. It is a great place to home school.

[Teflonic]

I’m very interested in reading comments from Germans over this decision. Was only able to find one article in german but it doesn’t allow comments. There is either a media blackout on the story over there or it’s just too soon to find anything on it yet.

It's nice to hear good news every now and again.

Major win for goodness and justice. Major FAIL for German authoritarian statists.
