German courts and officials say homeschooling is a result of "School Phobia"

WorldNetDaily, in a series of articles, has been tracking the case of a 15-year old German girl who was forceably removed from her parents. The heinous, grievous crime that had been committed against her: home education. Here is todays WND article about it.

Notice the quote from the German Ministry of Education:
"The Minister of Education does not share your attitudes toward so-called homeschooling…, You complain about the forced school escort of primary school children by the responsible local police officers… In order to avoid this in future, the education authority is in conversation with the affected family in order to look for possibilities to bring the religious convictions of the family into line with the unalterable school attendance requirement." (emphasis added by WND)

So there you have it folks. In Germany, nothing has changed since the days of the Third Reich. The State is the ultimate controller of your life - you have nothing to say about it. Do you have religious convictions that are in conflict with the State? Tough rocks - you must conform.

Here's another quote from another famous German:
The Youth of today is ever the people of tomorrow. For this reason we have set before ourselves the task of inoculating our youth with the spirit of this community of the people at a very early age, at an age when human beings are still unperverted and therefore unspoiled. This Reich stands, and it is building itself up for the future, upon its youth. And this new Reich will give its youth to no one, but will itself take youth and give to youth its own education and its own upbringing."
As you might surmise, that famous German is Adolph Hitler himself, in a 1937 speech. Do you seen any difference in attitude between then and now? There is no difference, except they now couch it in the language of "Diversity" rather than the language of National Socialism. Woe unto those who hold different opinions or have different convictions - the self-appointed guardians of tolerance and understanding will squash you for not toeing the approved behavioral line.

Dear Reader, we are not far from this here in the supposed "Land of the Free and Home of the Brave". There are those in both major political parties that would love to be able to do this to you. Be vigilant of your rights (recognized and guaranteed by the Constitution), or you will lose them.
