Four children, ages 7 to 14, have been forcibly taken from their home by police armed with a battering ram, and their parents have been told they won’t see them again soon, all over the issue of homeschooling, according to a stunning new report from the Home School Legal Defense Association.
HSLDA, the world’s premiere advocate for homeschoolers, said the family of Dirk and Petra Wunderlich has battled for several years Germany’s World War II-era requirement that all children submit to the indoctrination programs in the nation’s public schools.
The shocking raid was made solely because the parents were providing their children’s education. HSLDA discovered the paperwork that authorized police officers and social workers to use force on the children contained no claims of mistreatment.
“The children were taken to unknown locations,” HSLDA said. “Officials ominously promised the parents that they would not be seeing their children anytime soon.”
The raid, which took place Thursday at 8 a.m. as the children were beginning their day’s classes, has been described by observers as “brutal and vicious.”
A team of 20 social workers, police and special agents stormed the family’s Darmstadt, Germany, home. HSLDA reported a Judge Koenig, who is assigned to the Darmstadt family court, signed an order authorizing the immediate seizure of the children by force.
“Citing the parents’ failure to cooperate ‘with the authorities to send the children to school,’ the judge also authorized the use of force ‘against the children’ … reasoning that such force might be required because the children had ‘adopted the parents’ opinions’ regarding homeschooling and that ‘no cooperation could be expected’ from either the parents or the children,” HSLDA said.

“Mexicans can flood this country, citing the fear of persecution by drug cartels and the government grants them asylum, but these German Christians get no sympathy from our godless government.”
What we need is people of ANY COLOR who can contribute not parasites attracted by all the social/commie programs funded by money extorted from us by force.
Return to the Elis Island type immigration which while it may not have been perfect was 1000% better than this discrimination against people from Europe who can contribute.
Unfortunately, Teds plan screwed up the country so bad that fewer people from Europe want to come here.

Springtime for Hitler.
Sadly, Dear Leader is watching this with glee.
So much for the credibility of Bob Unruh. Three decades as an AP propagandist seems to warp the mind. (As I've pointed out in earlier threads on home schooling here, the legalities -and inferences- are not quite as represented in the article. To put it mildly.)
When your ideas are inferior, they can only be imposed by force. The liberty of free thought must be abolished for the failed ideas of tyrants to flourish.
Just remember this is a Nazi-era law.
Well at least they aren’t shipping the kids to Cuba like Elian........
Germany has a long history of persecuting homeschooling families.
It was in 1937 when Adolf Hitler said: “this new Reich will give its youth to no one, but will itself take youth and give to youth its own education and its own upbringing.”
They did the raid supposedly for the children's well being?
What the hell do they think is going to happen to them after being put through trauma like this?
Wake up Germany-you've just resurrected the Nazi's.
You're right about that!
"They did the raid supposedly for the children's well being? What the hell do they think is going to happen to them after being put through trauma like this?

It's worse than that:
As WND reported, the Romeike case has been submitted to the U.S. Supreme Court. In 2010, an immigration judge granted asylum in the U.S. to the family, which fled Germany because their children were forced to go to public schools.THAT is an absolute outrage. The Right needs to wake up and really start resisting the excesses and wrongheaded thinking of the 0 administration.The Obama administration, unhappy with the outcome, appealed and obtained an order from a higher court that the family must return to Germany.
The Obama administration has argued in court parents essentially have no right to determine how and what their children are taught, leaving the authority with the government.
“And our despots in D. C. have just revoked the right of a German Christian family to live in TN, where the had fled when the German government threatened to take their children away because they were homeschooling them on religious grounds.”
Set up an underground railroad to hide them. If Christians can’t do that, they don’t deserve the title Christian.
We set up safehouses during the Tienamen Square incident after that NWO criminal George Bush Sr. threatened to forcibly return Chinese student dissidents here in the US to the tender mercies of the ChiComm murderers in mainland China.
Since I haven’t seen your other comments, would you mind posting on this thread what legalities and inferences are not quite as represented in the article? I’d appreciate it.

Please read txrefugee's comment. Tyrannies which by very definition are absolutely immoral, hate any children which are not in their grasp to pollute, indoctrinate, and demoralize.

Coming to a home school in America.
Not likely.
Think that liberal states like California and Massachusetts haven’t toyed with the idea of banning home schooling?
I am preparing another post on Ilyin. In the meanwhile, here is another scene from the global Sovietization on the march.
Incidentally, someone better compare the state of secondary education in Germany in the 30's and today. We may discover that the public schools in the 30's gave the young Germans better education. Remember, for one thing, Germany was the world leader in science and technology. So Hitler's ban, odious as it was then, probably had better justification than his heirs'.
you can put me on this list.
