Newsflash

The text that follows the introductory e-mail from our German homeschooling friend, Heiko Krautter, was written in a German context. But this article is just as relevant to today's America. The hotly debated nationalization of children is one step away in that country, two steps away in America. Intelligent Americans know it is Hillary's final solution, but few suspect the GOP is her facilitator.

High taxes increase poverty > poverty (and state-supported feminist ideology) leads to two working parents > both parents on the job leads to child neglect > child neglect leads to "problem children" > problem children create a need for public child care > public care means less parenting > less parenting leads to problem children.

Who are we?
This site is operated by the Vereniging vir Tuisonderwys (Association for Home Schooling) in South Africa to create awareness of the plight of persecuted homeschoolers in the "free" city of Bremen, elsewhere in Germany and around the world.

Give Me Your Tired, Your Poor, Your Homeschoolers

The Romeikes are not your typical asylum seekers. They did not come to the U.S. to flee war or despotism in their native land. No, these music teachers left Germany because they didn't like what their children were learning in public school — and because homeschooling is illegal there.

In 2007, Germany's Federal Supreme Court issued a ruling — which did not specifically involve the Romeikes — that parents could lose custody of their children if they continued to homeschool them. "We were under constant pressure, and we were scared the German authorities would take our children away," Romeike says. "So we decided to leave and go to the U.S."
