Persecuted German Homeschool Family Facing September Custody Hearing Have had lien placed on their home by government
Human rights advocates are calling the case of a German homeschooling family "a critical human rights battle." On September 22nd, the Schmidt family of southern Bavaria in Germany will face a hearing in which government officials will decide if they may keep custody of one of their sons.
Hans and Petra Schmidt have been teaching their children, Josua, 16, and Aaron, 14, for more than nine years in an attempt to shield them from what they hold to be a hostile moral and heavily secularised environment in German public schools. To date the Schmidts have been forced to pay nearly 13,000 Euros (US $18,300) in home schooling fines and have had a lien placed on their home by the government.
But worse than fines is the threat by the Jugendamt, or Youth Office, to remove one of their children from the home entirely. […] It is commonly held by the German authorities that homeschooled children are socially maladjusted.[…] Germany is undertaking a crackdown on homeschooling families who face crippling fines, the seizure of their children and even prison for continuing to teach their children at home. In 1938, Hitler's Germany outlawed homeschooling which ban is one of the few bills introduced by the Nazi regime that is still on the books today. […] Last year the parents of a homeschooling family in the state of Hesse, Juergen and Rosemarie Dudek, were each sentenced to three months in prison. In 2007 the case of the Busekros family became internationally notorious when 15 year-old Melissa Busekros was abducted by government officials, aided by 15 police officers, and locked up in a child psychiatric unit because she had been homeschooled.

I was going to record it myself but my Rosetta Stone disc hasn't arrived yet.
Disgraceful. And yet Germany's chancellor is Angela Merkel of the Christian Democratic Union party. Doesn't seem to matter what a party calls itself these days - they're all just control freaks.
Wait, we didn't drop the bomb on them because the war was over? It seems we were misinformed.
Okay......... feeling a little more grateful to live where I do now...... even IF our medicine becomes socialized, even if all hell breaks lose, no one's going to lock me up for homeschooling my son.
Well, I should say "yet". Who knows. But that's one thing that hasn't been mentioned, is criminalizing homeschooling. Please God keep it that way. +
Nickie - Wow, at first glance I assumed this story was about Nazi Germany circa the 1930s. Imagine that it occurs today.
"I, for one, welcome our new insect overlords"
Not sure how that quote fits in here, but it just feels right.
Great post NG!
This is scandalous. Thank you for calling attention to it.
Remember, these people cheered wildly when "The One" came to town.
I don't know what that says more about - the fact that they cheered, or that America elected him (excuse me, *Him*) but it happened, all the same..
Kid, I've decided we have to lobby for a nightly series for you on the E Network. You are way too talented for blogging.
Scunny, heavy-handed governments quake at the thought of Proles wandering off and educating themselves.
cbull... Wars never end. They just go into remission.
Caeseria, just cause it hasn't been mentioned in public doesn't mean the Left aren't discussing it in Congress.
Rebel, Every thing old is new again.
Klik... It's frightening just how appropriate that quote is.
I can't remember a time in my life when I was so suspicious of the actions of giant government.
Opie, I just knew you'd be interested in this one. It really hits us where we live.
It says everything about US. It also reminds us that the Marxists never rest. They constantly wait for the wound in order to flood in with their infection.
Yes. Wound = Crisis
Nickie,
this is a Nazi statute. Shows you the flavour of our masters that they never revoked it when we rolled in with Patton!
Some Germans FLEE to UK plc to avoid it.
Man that's desperation.
Heads up.
Incoming, Somehow I think we'd all better get used to such statutes.
Nickie,
your up late!!!
Have you read about John Harris over here in UK plc. His "It's an Illusion" talk shows how in UK law statutes are a con. I have the feeling that's why you guys legally don't have to pay income tax. Though the Fed may have other views.
Heads up.
Churchill - The Germans are either at your throat or at your feet.
Their Big Train Comin' in Western Europe is Islam, which won't abide a lot of this shit.
"...they constantly wait for the wound to flood in with their infection"
Beautiful.
It's alright, at the rate they're going they will be an Islamic republic in a decade or three anyhow so they won't have to worry about schooling. I can't wait, I might even move to Germany. Mud huts abound, I can marry 5 fat chicks with uni-brows and wearing ninja suits. I'll have 743 children all named Muhammad Al Ibn Al Dillinger. When my fat chicks won't put out I'll have a whole stable of beautiful goats. I'll take a shit in a hole in my bedroom floor and wipe my ass with my left hand. I'll be able to survive for days just eating the lice in my beard. I'll get to wear my PJ's all day and wear an AK-47 as a fashion statement. My kids will frolic and play in the sewer in the streets, but only when they've finished reading the Koran all the way through, each day. When I have a bad day of not working and there's nobody to Jihad against I'll just kick my wife down the stairs to make me feel better. Oh, the life it will be, the life of Jihad-Germany. What was the point of this little yarn I just wove. GERMANY! You have bigger problems you twats!
As I stated in my previous comment. I can't link in the comments but here you go.

Although it was short anyhow, so here's what it said.
A Berlin court has upheld rulings in favor of parents who sought to name their son Djehad, a variation on the Arabic "jihad," or holy war.
The superior court upheld two lower court rulings allowing the name on grounds that it is recognized for males in Arabic-speaking countries.
German authorities who register births had objected to the name, saying it could be harmful for the child given the associations with Islamic terrorism.
But the court said in a ruling Tuesday that the name's meaning is rooted in the requirement to spread the Muslim faith, although it has recently become linked — especially since the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks — with radical Islam.
German law restricts parents from giving their children names that could be interpreted as harmful.
Can you say "Ich Ein Retards?"
When will people decide to simply give in to the government, because it's in their best interests to do so. The government is wise. The government loves us all. The government wants to take our money and waste it so we won't have to.
Nickie, You wrote in the comment section, "Wars never end. They just go into remission."
To be sure, the war between good and evil never ends; but it never really goes into remission. What happens is the tactics are altered in such a way, the package is wrapped in different paper so as to fool those not paying attention into believing that evil has gone into remission.
I say this too often these days but, it's just so often apropos,"I weep for the species".
Incoming, our Constitution has been ignored and is quickly becoming just an interesting artifact.
Thanks, Rhod.
People who continue to wanna see Islam as a culturally moderating force are in for a BIG surprise.
Dillinger, political and ethnic correctness becomes a daunting standard to uphold. It's the European disease and will soon become ours.
LL, I now believe. Resistance is futile.
Thanks, TF. You are much more accurate than I on this one. Your comments certainly ring true.
Chup, don't put away that hankie quite yet.
Coming to a country near you ...
I homeschooled my two youngest and the school system tried their harrassment on me. They already are brainwashing the young with socialism as with my kids teaching "Tribes" by the school psychologist in the classroom. Try reading the goals of the National Education Associations and every parent would yank their kids out of every school.
Woody, it's here. Who the hell left the screen door unlocked?
Susan, I truly appreciate you sharing your personal crusade against insanity.
By the way, if anyone wants to see the work of a sensitive water-colorist, please visit Susan's site.
I am totally nuts about her painting titled TRANSFORMERS. See if you agree.
" Kid, I've decided we have to lobby for a nightly series for you on the E Network. You are way too talented for blogging.
Nickie. I'll do it if you'll join me. Let's get Opus on board too. Also too much talent for just a corner of cyberspace.
But I'm flattered once again.
Nickie. Initially, I think I'd go for a personality mosaic of:
Ed Sullivan,
Red Skelton,
John Belushi,
Gene Wilder,
Maurice Chevalier,
Groucho Marx
and Slim Pickens
I don't now if I could pull it off, but I'd try. I think I could steal some of Glenn Beck's audience.
Between the 3 of us we could put SNL out of business and become the ultra-hip political voice of America !
Revolution !
For the People !!!
I'm not gonna fit in anywhere with a show like that.
I'm kind of a blend of Durward Kirby and Harry Secombe. I'm too dull for you.
Maybe it's most of all. See I need a proof reader.
