Likely, many of you have heard about the Romeike’s case. Just in case you have not, the German homeschooling family came (legally!) to the US in 2008 after facing jail time and fines in Germany. They are pursuing asylum in the US, but the Obama Administration claims that the Romeike’s fundamental rights are not being infringed by the German government. They want to deport this family back to Germany where they would likely face the removal of their children.

Whether or not you agree with homeschooling or other forms of education, is it a fundamental parental right to be able to decide how your children will be educated?
