Homeschooling in Germany? Lose your children, go to jail.
2008 August 5
Knowing that much of my heritage is German (on my maternal grandmother’s side), I have always had a fondness for the nation. Knowledge of the nation’s ultimate role in prophecy has only added to its profile on my radar screen (as readers of this blog are certainly aware).
But as one homeschooling his children, I must say that I thank God for the freedom I currently have here in America. Details can be read about here on the HSLDA website: German Court Keeps Five Kids Because Parents are Homeschoolers.
The only country in Europe to do so. There are groups here in the UK looking to put a stop to homeschooling. Apparently, parents are too ignorant to know what’s best for their own child.
If you’d like to read more about the Gorber’s and other families take a look at Educating Germany. There are also some ideas there on how we can support the families and lobby the authorities.
