This is SO Messed-Up.

When you homeschool, you're contributing to creating a "parallel society" whose norms are not that of Der Fuhrer - oh, I mean, the state. We know that the German government *always* knows best how to raise children -- better than some smelly ol' parent ever could. They show their love of the Fatherland and "family values" through their treatment of these horrid dissidents by fining them, and then "helping" to assist with selling their goods as payment:

As of yesterday, authorities had searched the family's home to determine whether there were items that could be confiscated to be sold to pay the "fine," and authorities also were considering jailing the father, to see whether that would make him change his mind, according to the HSLDA.

Interestingly, HSLDA is arguing based on INTERNATIONAL LAW that this is wrong. The day we have to talk about international law to settle our disputes is a sad, sad day in our world. Continued prayers for German homeschool families are desperately needed.
