Before long the current occupant of the oval office will set his marxist sights on homeschooling.
When the said NO child left behind, they meant it.
I know I’m a little late to this thread, but just heard more details of the story on the news today. I haven’t followed it but decided to see if it was on FR.
I found the following article:
Then the Obama administration went to court to send them back to Germany.
Farris pointed out the asylum law allows a refugee to remain in the U.S. due to the threat of persecution for any of several reasons, including for religious reasons or being part of a “particular social group.”
But Attorney General Eric Holder’s official position is that the family doesn’t qualify, even though the Supreme Court of Germany already publicly declared the purpose of the German ban on homeschooling was to “counteract the development of religious and philosophically motivated parallel societies.”
The Obama administration position is that it is irrelevant that the children were “bombarded with negative influences” in the German public schools that included “alleged teaching of evolution, abortion, homosexuality, disrespect for parents, teachers, and other authority figures, disrespect for students, bullying, witchcraft, disrespect for family values and ridicule of Christian values.”
The German goal, Farris explained, is “to prohibit people who think differently from the government (on religious or philosophical grounds) from growing and developing into a force in society.”
“It is thought control. It is belief control. It is totalitarianism dressed up in politically correct lingo,” he said.
But he said the what should be alarming for Americans is the “state of the position of our government at a very high level.”
He said the executive branch is arguing that it’s no problem to ban homeschooling.
“There are two major portions of constitutional rights of citizens – fundamental liberties and equal protection. The U.S. attorney general has said this about homeschooling. There is no fundamental liberty to homeschool. So long as a government bans homeschooling broadly and equally, there is no violation of your rights.

You are right. He will come after homeschoolers. He owes it to the unions.
