Judges try to snatch homeschoolers
Families escape homeland to keep from losing children to state

From http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=40332

Germans who choose to homeschool their children are coming under increasing pressure from the state with some families escaping the European Union nation to keep from having their children taken from them.

The U.S.-based Home School Legal Defense Association, or HSLDA, has appealed to its members to assist its counterpart organization in Germany as it battles for the right to homeschool.

Said a statement from HSLDA: "The United States has been blessed for many years with the freedom to homeschool. Other countries do not have this freedom. If we do not help 'the least of these' in other nations, who will help them?"

The organization tells of the struggles German families are having with the judicial system there.

The judge also ruled that fundamentalist Christians who do not want their children to attend the government schools are not protected by the nation's constitution.

I hate to see things like this. But, it makes me really glad I live in the United States.
