Auf Wiedersehen, meine Kinder

In Germany you have a choice: Let the state indoctrinate your kids or face the consequences:

Four children, ages 7 to 14, have been forcibly taken from their Darmstadt, Germany, 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.

The Romeike family had been granted asylum in the U.S. by an immigration judge, but the Obama administration appealed the decision and won a reversal:

The U.S. Department of Justice earlier revealed in a court filing…that it agrees with the philosophy of the German government that bureaucrats can punish homeschooling parents. The agency contends parental rights to keep children free from instruction that violates faith essentially are negligible when the government’s goal is an “open society.”

The HSLDA is appealing the DOJ’s ruling to the Supreme Court.

    When the State does decide to ride you over the rails, I hope you remember these posts and the irony is not lost on you.

  3. Well, having been accused of using indelicate language on more than one occasion, it probably isn’t surprising that I have a different take on the Prof’s message.
    He is absolutely right when he states that the same sort of transgressions by our own state apparatus occur quite frequently. He is also absolutely correct that nothing is going to change for the better until enough politicians stand up and demand it. a
    And he’s damned well right when he says that it’s our job to get those politicians elected.
    And it is my opinion that Canadians, at this moment in time, are far too(pick as many as you want) docile, whipped, cowardly, unconcerned, distracted, stupid to ever get things changed.
