Baptist parents in Germany lose their parental rights
over their kids’ educations for not sending them to government schools.
A court says they’re doing their children harm by depriving them of the
right to “develop their personalities by attending school.” Here’s
more:
The parents were brought to court by the local education board of the
county whose director, Heinz Kohler, argued that homeschooling cannot be allowed because it is ?a right of the
child not to be kept away from the outside world. The parents?
right to personally educate their children would prevent the children
from growing up to be responsible individuals within society.?
Kohler was backed by the Westphalian minister of Education, the
Socialist politician Ute Sch?fer, who stated that the obligation
to attend a government approved school follows from the ?right of a
child to free education and maturation.?
You just knew a socialist was going to be in there somewhere. (via Michelle Malkin)
