It was the plight of German homeschoolers that inspired me to write The Threats to Homeschooling: From Hitler to the NEA. One German family has been granted political asylum in America:

The decision, announced Tuesday in Memphis, clears the way for Uwe Romeike, his wife and five children to stay in Tennessee, where they have been living since 2008.

German state constitutions require children to attend public or private schools, and parents can face fines or prison time if they do not comply.

Mr Romeike, an evangelical Christian, said he believes the German curriculum is “against Christian values”.

Very nice. Glad to see this.
