That means the Romeike family, who claim the German government is persecuting them because they want to raise their children in accordance with their Christian beliefs, and not through the German public school system, can stay in the United States without the threat of being forced return to their home country.

The Romeikes were initially granted asylum in the United States after they were threatened with jail time and losing custody of their children for choosing to homeschool. The Obama administration, though, appealed that decision and won, arguing that there is no fundamental right to determine the education of one's children.

Apparently they have this court ruling down on the books now.

Great news for this family!

We need more like them to come to America and less like Piers Morgan.

Sorry, but I’m still skeptical.

There will be conditions, one of them probably being that the Romeike family children will have to attend government indoctrination centers.

Well, that doesn't seem to be working, at least at this point. It seems there must be at least one SANE person left at the DHS.

Praise the Lord!!!

No fundamental right to determine the education of one's own children??? When did parents become superfluous in the upbringing, nurture, and education of their own children?

Or does the Obama [In]Justice Department think that these kids are all "test-tube babies," sans parents (except for their contributions of egg and sperm at far distance remove), such that the State is their real Mommy and Daddy?

Maybe the Obama [In]Justice Department would prefer children to come into the world that way....

These Obamamaniacs are sick, sick, sick. They appear to deny actual Reality at every turn. They appear to think that "thinking about the world" in a "new way" can somehow magically, fundamentally transform the very structure of Reality.

I'm simply disgusted that the Supreme Court denied their appeal. Rather than respect and uphold the most fundamental principles of our nation, it turns out they prefer to further enable the social policies of the most unprincipled and malignant administration in the history of the United States of America.

May God ever bless the Romeike Family!

Good news! Wish them well. It should never have been an issue whether they could stay here.

I believe this is what the Obama administration was REALLY after. It had nothing to do with this family but as a tip of the spear to begin dismantling our right to homeschool.

Thank God. But we still have a fight to engage in. The goal of the region me was not to get them, but to undermine the legal freedom to homeschooling. We must continue to press the issue. All the best to this family.

Yes, PRAISE THE LORD for His miracle of working all things together for good for this Christian family—
and may they be able to stay as long as they’d like and continue to fulfill their God-given responsibilities according to His will.

Why in the world would the U.S. want to keep a beautiful, intelligent, law-abding family like that -- when they can get hordes of ignorant, illegal, illiterate semi-savages from the third world? </SARCASM>
