When school officials in Germany, where homeschooling has been illegal since Adolph Hitler decided he wanted to control the educating of all children, discovered that fact, she was expelled. School officials then took her to court, obtaining a court order requiring she be committed to a psychiatric ward because of her "school phobia."

Coming to a school near you.

Emphasis:

American homeschoolers need to be worried, according to a WND report, because the ease with which similar restrictions on free choice could be imposed in the United States.

A Democrat Senate and a Democrat president could ratify U.N. treaties such as the U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child, or the European Convention on Human Rights, which is an offshoot of the U.S. Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

That is the foundation being cited by the German government to ban homeschooling entirely, and to indoctrinate public and private school students into a sexualized, socialist society.

IMO, a RINO President would do this thoo.

Says it all. Control their education, control their minds. That's why so many oppose the federalization and court ordered curriculum.

Do you have a homeschool ping list?

Tarring and feathering of the local bureacrats charged with enforcing these evil statutes, backed by a consistent program of investing in lead futures, is the only way to put a stop to this.

"As long as you practice your faith in a church building you have no problems, but as soon as you act in accordance to your faith, for example, in the education of your children, the freedom ends rapidly," he said.

Sounds like the same belief as Walter Cronkite.

Cronkite opposes religious influence

There are phone numbers, addresses, and e-mail info in this article. Every homeschooling family here should send Melissa Burkeos, a 15 yr. old prisoner of German "welfare" officials, a card and let her know that she is not forgotten.

Somebody should send the Jugendamt a copy of "The Diary of Anne Frank". I don't think they'd care, but at least they couldn't say they didn't know. Like the last time.

No, but DaveLoneRanger does!! Hey Dave....! :-)

Is German media interested in this?

[Alouette]

The Germans are afraid they will grow up to become like these people

Wow, Kurt Huber isn't related to Ahmed Huber, right?

White Rose bump!

[esopman]

Please call your congressman and all sympathetic senators,
e.g Joe Lieberman. Write and call Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levine, and any other avenue to make this VISIBLE, HIGH-PROFILE. And what about those wonderful groups like Amnesty International? Let them show their true colors. Also call the German Embassy in Washington, as well as the relevant numbers in the article. Please come to the defense of this family and many other home-school families in Germany!


And PLEASE do not forget to PRAY for them. Most are Christians. All deserve our prayers.

I'm not sure about this case, since most of what I've read has come from WND. The abortion case in Italy, the one where the 13 yr.old girl who is now confined to a mental institution after the courts and her parents forced her to abort her child, is getting world-wide coverage. The German Jungdamt put the homeschooled girl into a mental institution. That is completely outrageous and yet, they've gotten away with it. The Germans see nothing. I wonder how many of the Muslims there go only to a madrassa? Would the EU have dared to interfere if these two girls weren't infidels?

If you don't trust WND, then go to the HSLDA site and read about it.

They have been covering this since they broke the story on Healthy People 2010.

Muck the bureaucrats!

Governments, which is to say strangers, should not control our children. Parents do.

Do not hesitate to home educate!

Homeschool ping.

Could this apply to muslims being taught the koran at home? Hmmmmmm.....
