As I understand the case, the Romeikes are not “being used,” but are actively cooperating with HSLDA. Their goal is not primarily to find a refuge for their family, but to change the situation in Germany so that other families do not have to choose exile in order to educate their children according to their preferences.
HSLDA is the only organization in the world that is interested in and active in promoting parents’ rights in education. Other German homeschooing families have gone elsewhere, but people should not have to leave their home country in order to escape coerced government indoctrination of their children.
Raising the Moslem bugaboo doesn’t change the principle. If parents have the right to direct their children’s education, that means that some parents will make choices we don’t like. Some will be Moslems, some will be (fill in That Religious Group). Some will be atheists. Some will be Communists. Some will be giddy hippies. We either support freedom, or we don’t.
Thank you for your information. Families shouldn’t have to flee their homeland. I I don’t know what that statist is doing here at FR.
