BERLIN, April 16, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Three more German families have issued an international appeal for help against the German government’s stepped up persecution against Christian homeschooling families, which has been condemned by the UN for its inflexible and intolerant school system.
The International Human Rights Group, which has been championing the case of Melissa Busekros - a German home schooled student seized from her home two months ago by the Jugendamt (Youth Welfare Office) and police forces - and other German homeschooling families, met last week with a group of homeschooling families in Bischofswerda, a small town in the state of Saxony.
Three families gave IHRG a letter describing their battle with the government, which has dedicated itself to vigorously enforcing Chancellor Adolf Hitler’s 1938 edict banning homeschooling and enforcing compulsory education.
