Yes, I recall the German family who sought asylum in the US because German law (enacted under the Nazis) forbids homeschooling. I don’t know if they won asylum, I believe this happened during the Hussein administration.

I am reading here about Germany: Illegal, public or approved private education is mandatory with the only exception being where continued school attendance would create undue hardship for an individual child.

“I recall the German family who sought asylum in the US because German law (enacted under the Nazis) forbids homeschooling.”

That was the Uwe and Hannelore Romeike family. They were initially granted asylum but Obama and “Just Us” Holder appealed the decision and won. Obama was intent on having the family deported.
The Romeike family appealed to the Supreme Court but I haven’t read of any news since 2014.
Clouding the issue is that they now have a sixth child, conceived and born in Tennessee, an anchor baby if you will.

Rep David Roe (R-TN) has introduced a bill in congress to provide relief for the family.
