Germany Lags Behind in Progressive Education
Thursday, October 26th, 2006By Mimi Rothschild
Those of you who keep up on homeschooling news will recognize that Germany has been particularly hostile to homeschool families over the course of the last few years. Although homeschooling is entirely legal in the EU, Germany lags behind with a Hitlerian law prohibiting students from learning at home.
“A Nazi-era law requiring all children to attend public school, to avoid “the emergence of parallel societies based on separate philosophical convictions” that could be taught by parents at home, apparently is triggering a Nazi-like response from police.”
Imagine that, a fascist government wanting to keep their citizenry within government-controlled schools to prevent independent, potentially subersive thought! It’s interesting to note that conservatives in America are often mislabled as fascists due to their status as right-wing. In reality, today’s liberals most closely resemble WWII fascists with big government, high taxes, and inefficient social programs.
The family was approached by police officers who forcibly removed the children from their home and escorted them to school. This report comes hot on the heels of other stories from Germany detailing the unfortunate discrimination against homeschoolers with hefty fines and even jail time. Most of these homeschoolers have attempted to circumvent public education due to their Christian faith. The German schools, not unlike their American counterparts, are full of godless teaching and immorality.
