***** I reported on this same family late last year, along with several other families that were facing the same homeschooling issues.*****

Homeschooling advocates are up in arms after Obama’s Justice Department, led by disgraced Attorney General Eric Holder, claimed that a ban on home education was not a violation of fundamental human rights and that, as such, the ruthlessly persecuted Romeike family should be deported to Germany. Experts say deporting the innocent homeschoolers to face barbaric German authorities — infamous worldwide for lawlessly abducting homeschooled children and jailing home-educating parents — would be bad enough. Particularly troubling for Americans in general, however, is that the case could set a dangerous precedent for U.S. freedom, too. 

The Romeikes, who fled outrageous persecution in Germany so that they could homeschool in peace and freedom in America, were awarded asylum in the United States by a federal immigration judge in 2010. They had fled from their native land two years earlier to escape the extreme punishments meted out to homeschoolers there. According to U.S. law, persecuted members of particular social groups — home educating families or Christians, for example — are supposed to be allowed to stay in the Land of the Free to avoid further persecution in their homelands.

With help from the U.S.-based Home School Legal Defense Association (HSLDA), the Romeikes, evangelical Christians who refused to surrender their children to the German government’s “education” system in the face of a Nazi-era ban on homeschooling, were granted political refugee status. The family, which currently lives and homeschools in Tennessee, argued successfully in court that they were being persecuted for their beliefs and homeschooling by German authorities — officials who refuse to respect human rights and engaged in a vicious campaign th....   

“We can't expect every country to follow our Constitution. The world might be a better place if it did," noted U.S. Immigration Judge Lawrence Burman in his ruling, which was celebrated by human rights activists worldwide. “However, the rights being violated here are basic human rights that no country has a right to violate. Homeschoolers are a particular social group that the German government is trying to suppress. This family has a well-founded fear of persecution." In his verdict, the judge called the ruthless German persecution "repellent to everything we believe as Americans."

For the Obama administration and disgraced Justice Department chief Holder, however — despite numerous international agreements enshrining parental rights, as well as, of course, the U.S. Constitution and Supreme Court rulings — a ban on home education is perfectly acceptable. After the asylum ruling, the administration immediately sprang into action to help the German government crush the Romeike family and to ensure that other homeschooling refugees fleeing Germany would have to find somewhere else to go. Most of the German victims have fled to neighboring countries, all of which allow home education.

***personal statement***

I cannot say to any degree, that I agree. I may not understand their language, I may not understand their customs, I, can say though, that I DO understand their fight for freedom!

Things like this, simple things, bring us together as A people, (not many different people), but A people that believe in the same causes, the same freedoms. These are the people that need to stand together and say, "This is the line, if you cross this line, that will be all that we will take! No longer will we bow to a government that is not by the people or for the people, but against the people. No longer will we look away as you rob our parents and grandparents of their retirement and social security. No longer will we allow you to drug our children and our sick and old! No longer will we allow you to send our hard earned tax dollars to countries that wage war and kill innocent people! We will not sit ideally by and let you send our children into harm's way, because you have sold another countries gold to try and finance your One World Order!! No longer will we be still and allow you to raise our taxes to pay for your lavish vacations and bail out banks that are not to big to fail and buy arms to send across borders to drug cartels. We are not going to stand by and let you destroy a country that our forefathers fought and died for! We will not let you destroy our economy, our lives, our country!!!!"
