There is a wide consensus among the German society that homeschooling is not wanted because we like to see the childrens right on free information assured.

The assumption that Homeschoolers *keep* information from their children is a worn cliche. I actually homeschool so my daughter can *hear and know* both sides. She would NEVER get that in the government indoctrination centers.
In fact, how do you know that the government IS allowing “right to free information”???
Do you really believe that the government is telling you the truth????
Do you really believe that the government is that infallible???
In Germany some homeschoolers definitly do due to their beliefs. Just two examples: Darwin and sexual education.

Because in our private schools i.e. it is not the gouvernment that is teaching. The gouvernment just gives a target specification what has to be learned to a certain age and the gouvernment gives the written examination tests for the high school graduations. I have my sons in a private catholic school i.e.. The gouvernment does not mix into our internal school affairs, but the school had to undergo a quality test of the gouvernment. I.e. to meet the requirements the teachers must have studied. Such things are important.
I do not believe that any gouvernment tells solely the truth or is infallible. Nevertheless I am convinced that our politicians and justice are standing in for a good cause in this case.
