Isn’t it at least slightly embarrassing to Germany that these people had to apply for asylum in the USA due to the lack of basic human rights in their native country. In Germany and many other European countries, the government steals children from their parents because the parents choose to take responsibility for their children’s education.
If immigration judges in our country grant asylum to the victims of these laws in Europe, will that finally embarrass the European Union into upholding the right of parents to educate their own children?
If it isn’t it should be. I have read that California also has looked at outlawing home schooling. This would be a huge breach of our most basic human rights..
Really, educating your children as you see fit is not a basic human right? Really? Wow, people are scary. It seems that someone listed some Constitutional Rights but fails to understand that human rights all go back to freedom period. If one claims that a right must be in the Constitution then abortion certainly would not be considered a right as it is not specifically mentioned..
