Homeschoolers whose children were recently seized by the German government are now not allowed to emigrate to a country that allows homeschooling.
In August, the children of Dirk and Petra Wunderlich were seized at gunpoint by German officials because the Wunderlich's refused to send their children to the public school. In mid-September, the Wunderlichs were reunited with their children, but only after they promised to send their kids to public school.
The Wunderlichs then requested that they be allowed to leave the country so that they could go to a country that will allow them to homeschool. A judge told them that if they left before a December hearing on their case, they would be brought back to Germany and face criminal sanctions. Left with no other option, the Wunderlich children began attending public school on Oct. 28.
"What other choice did we have?" Dirk Wunderlich told the Home School Legal Defense Association. "They had our children. We feel ravaged by the government. We don't want our children in school but we have no choice - we can't leave and if we don't comply they will take our children away. We will make the best of it because we know if we tried to leave, the authorities would separate us and we might never see our children again or for a very long time."
The children appear to taking their new schooling in stride. But, one child complained that their teacher spends too much time explaining things and telling the other students to be quiet. Another Wunderlich kid regretted that he no longer had time to work on his personal learning projects.
Wunderlich said he hopes to be able to leave the country after next month's court hearing, or maybe earlier if an emergency request comes through,

The 2016 D’rat nominee will be HEILry screeching “F’n Jew Bastards”
Well you know old habits are hard to break =)
The Romeike’s have 2 children that were born in the US making them US citizens. The obama / holder Dept. of Injustice is hellbent on crushing this God fearing, Christian family.
... to Switzerland
So you have to request permission to leave that country? Or just them?
A good post. One problem, though. The Low Information Voter in the USA most likely doesn’t know what the Geheime Staatspolizei was. I’ll inform them.
IT is better known by its initials-—GESTAPO. It was very big in Germany a number of years ago.
Many countries have similar organizations, known by different initials.
It will happen here next, you hide and watch!
I just bet they wouldn’t stop the Muslims from homeschooling.
Germany, land of virtual pedophiliac “under age” sex, but no home schooling...
well the logic is to reduce US standards so that Germany and Europe do not look like human right violators.
“Power to the people, everyone does it”
Good one. Image saved.
The right to determine the education of one's children is not a fundamental right and, therefore, the Romeikes should not be granted political asylum, the Justice Department argued.
I was wondering about this family. This is shameful that Obama allows and wants to give amnesty to people who come over here illegally but won't help this family. Families like this are what America is all about. This family will face the same fate as the family in this article if they go home.
Nazi’s set precedences while they controlled the country, and those precedences remain active in Germany.
This is what the Leftists leading the Obama government are counting on. They are counting on the precedences they set in our country to remain in place, or at least the major precedences.
Three steps forward, one step back is the old saying.
Nazis a.k.a. Leftists.
About 75 years ago, the German government did the same thing to homeschooling parents after being taken over by a radical party led by this Austrian-born chancellor. What was his name again?/sarcasm
In most states, home schooling is a legal option open to most parents. There are also lots of private school options that give parents control over their children’s education. Fleeing the country is not even necessary here at this point.
I understand. But homeschooling is practically impossible for most people, leaving them few realistic options outside the government schools.
I’d like to know why they haven’t changed the law?
Wonder what other Nazi era laws are still in effect.
