When the said NO child left behind, they meant it.

Thanks - placemark.
please remove me from this ping list. I thank you. :)
These people need to go to Mexico and come across the border illegally. Live under cover and accept the amnesty that is sure to come. Problem solved and piss on the WH to boot.
I know I’m a little late to this thread, but just heard more details of the story on the news today. I haven’t followed it but decided to see if it was on FR.
I found the following article:
Then the Obama administration went to court to send them back to Germany.
Farris pointed out the asylum law allows a refugee to remain in the U.S. due to the threat of persecution for any of several reasons, including for religious reasons or being part of a “particular social group.”
But Attorney General Eric Holder’s official position is that the family doesn’t qualify, even though the Supreme Court of Germany already publicly declared the purpose of the German ban on homeschooling was to “counteract the development of religious and philosophically motivated parallel societies.”
The Obama administration position is that it is irrelevant that the children were “bombarded with negative influences” in the German public schools that included “alleged teaching of evolution, abortion, homosexuality, disrespect for parents, teachers, and other authority figures, disrespect for students, bullying, witchcraft, disrespect for family values and ridicule of Christian values.”
The German goal, Farris explained, is “to prohibit people who think differently from the government (on religious or philosophical grounds) from growing and developing into a force in society.”
“It is thought control. It is belief control. It is totalitarianism dressed up in politically correct lingo,” he said.
But he said the what should be alarming for Americans is the “state of the position of our government at a very high level.”
He said the executive branch is arguing that it’s no problem to ban homeschooling.
“There are two major portions of constitutional rights of citizens – fundamental liberties and equal protection. The U.S. attorney general has said this about homeschooling. There is no fundamental liberty to homeschool. So long as a government bans homeschooling broadly and equally, there is no violation of your rights.

You are right. He will come after homeschoolers. He owes it to the unions.
I guess the anchor baby card doesn’t work if you’re a white European, does it?After they fled to the United States in 2010, the Romeike family initially were granted political asylum and found a home in Tennessee. They had a sixth child. But then U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) appealed the asylum decision in 2012.
Let’s see . . . we have a person, aged less than 3 years, who was born in America and Under present case law (granted that it is of dubious provenance, but it has been accepted law for a long time, and affects the status of many, many thousands of people), the baby in question is an American citizen. It is impossible to deport the baby without causing chaos.The parents of this American citizen
- were initially granted asylum on grounds that they face persecution in their homeland.
- want to be Americans, and Tennesseans in particular - and face persecution in their homeland for behavior which is legal under Tennessee and federal law.
- are not in the country illegally,
- are not alleged to be a
publicgovernment charge. They can, if need be, find a support group to take responsibility that they do not become a public charge.
- are not alleged to be a threat or even an inconvenience to society. They are Christians, in a society in which the Christian Bible is the best selling book of all time.
No wonder the Obama Administration wants to deport them. I started to label that sarcasm. It is astonishing, but that is not correct. In an administration which can promote the idea that Christians are threats to Homeland Security . . .
Why aren’t thtey deporting those illegals who are committing crimes and receiving government benefits?
I know of a recent legal immigrant, who has money, who after deciding he didn’t want to have to wear glasses had Medicaid pay for corneal transplants.
Our immigration system is seriously ****ed up.
