In March 2013, a German family who immigrated to the U.S. legally for the freedom of homeschooling their children learned that they soon may be deported by the Department of Homeland Security.
Uwe and Hannelore Romeike, with their six children, wanted to home-school their children in Germany, but were not permitted to do so under German law. The Family, with home schooling still in mind sought political refuge in the U.S in 2010, but now the Department of Homeland Security is saying that German laws do not allow homeschooling that do not violate the family's human rights.
The U.S Immigration judge, who granted the Romeike's freedom, said that "the German government is attempting to enforce the Nazi-er law against people that it purely seems to detest because of their desire to keep their children out of school."
According to the Associate Press, the board of Immigration Appeals found the Judges decision flawed, adding that the actual record did not support the "suggestion that it is a Nazi-era law".
The family was scheduled a oral appeals argument in April.
Thanks to our administration, The U.S is sending a statement that says there is no right to home school anywhere. Where does parental liberty and religious liberty go? Down the toilet? Our government was in a spot to pick sides, and it is siding with Germany.
It looks like the Family will be sent back to Germany where they will certainly lose custody of their children.
