This is ridiculous. It is terrible that Germany does not allow homeschooling, but even more terrible that this family is being denied asylum. I teach immigrant children. Many are coming in asking for asylum because of schooling purposes. This discrepancy here is unjust and sounds like religious persecution on the part of the US government. I am a firm believer in strong public schools, but parents should have the choice to educate their children in private or homeschools if they have the means to do so.

[@therightway2130]

Homeschooling is not a personal safety issue they just don't want to follow the laws in their own country. That is not what Asylum is for. Snd they are lying, in the legal documents delivered to them are the reasons they are being deported.

[@gansz_lol]

[@gkseeton]

I agree. I am in favor of maximum freedom and minimum oversight of homeschooling for parents, but I am against any tax money for the home school. Vouchers for public and private schools, but home school needs to be left alone. 40 years of evidence supports those choosing to sacrifice and do the work of education personally for their children being left alone to do so.

[@kristadavis2825]

@gkseeton As a homeschool mom and having a background as a former public and private school teacher, I completely agree! When money from the government gets involved with homeschoolers the parents end up loosing their freedoms. Most families I know choose to sacrifice excessive wealth to live modest lives for the sake of their children’s education. I know several doctors and many more teachers that either quit their professions or found other ways to work and homeschool due to how poor the choices in my area are.

[@milenasovic]

I have been homeschooling my kid for years! Thank you HSLDA for protecting us!

[@SupaYoda]

There's an argument that the HSLDA created this situation in the first place. Firstly, they're citizens of the EU, which means that they could (and still can) legally move to any one of the several countries in the EU (including German-speaking Austria) which allow homeschooling. They also could have pursued a more feasible route to a legal status here. Unfortunately, the HSLDA (not an immigration lawyer) advised them to come on a visitor's visa, overstay that visa (which is illegal), and then apply for refugee status-- which is perhaps the worst possible legal advice they could have been given. Mind you, HSLDA has been looking to get its hooks into Germany for ages now, and they needed a poster family for that. (It's not like HSLDA would need to suffer the consequences if it went south, after all.) Fast forward a few years, and their refugee status was denied, but rather than have them deport right away, the Obama administration made a special case and gave them a deferment until their youngest child at the time was 18, thus ending their stated need to be in the US. For whatever reason, the family then decided to have two more children as well as having two of their older German children married off, despite knowing that their deferment status was not permanent. Whether the HSLDA led them to believe it or they just believed it themselves, maybe they thought a couple of anchor babies and American spouses would prevent the deportation. Either way, that's not how that works. Fast forward to today... The youngest German-born child has turned 18, thus ending their stated need to be here. (The two American-born kids are not being asked to leave, and yes, US-born kids are left behind all the time in these types of situations. They were never added to the appeals case, far as I can tell.) In 15+ years, they've done little to correct any of this, I suppose just thinking they would be overlooked. This is not a family of small means. They have quite a bit of property and net worth, and they could easily find a residence in another country. They were given at least a good 30 days to get their affairs in order and leave the US, but again... They've known this was coming for well over a decade. That really needs to be said. They don't have to go back to Germany, mind you. They can still go to German-speaking Austria and homeschool to their hearts' content. They just can't stay here. No doubt, the married daughter with a baby should be able to obtain legal status fairly quickly, but her case must first be separated from her family's, and she will need to file from her home country. None of this had to happen, though. The family could have gotten a proper immigration lawyer, who'd have likely advised them differently. But the HSLDA had an agenda. This family was their collateral damage. Worse, the HSLDA is likely making a lot of money off of this through donations right now. When this family is out of the country and no longer in the spotlight, they'll move on to someone else. The HSLDA isn't interested in protecting anyone. I can't count the number of members I've talked to who couldn't get help from the HSLDA when they needed it, but it's right there in their terms and conditions. They're not the legal insurance that people tend to be under the impression that they are. They won't guarantee that they'll take your case. Their true business is lobbying. If you support the lobbying, great. But if you are looking for "protection," they are not there to provide it. Save your $12/month.

[@NoWaySmokey8889]

They still have two underage children. Those kids would be forced into German public schools. Not to mention two of their adult children are married with kids of their own. They’d have to separate their family. They were granted asylum. It should stick. That should be for anyone. They’re just doing this because they’re Christian’s.

[@sinjin1259]

Being here is a privilege - not a right. Saying those kids would be forced into a German school is a limited option. They have plenty of options but their option to stay in the US has expired. To say that their family will be separated is a consideration they must have already made and decided to risk years ago. Asylum can be rescinded. Germany has plenty of Christians and most dont scream governmental bias. Citizenship is the basis of any society, not hardship.@@NoWaySmokey8889

[@dragonpatrollearntoearn352]

There are some who think that these people should be allowed to stay in the U.S. The issue is that this family has had 15 years to Put the paperwork in. The biggest thing is that they are STILL Illegal in the U.S. To come to the U.S. because Germany does not allow homeschooling is NOT a reason to come to the U.S. for asylum. They are still illegal and should have FILED the paperwork while here in the U.S. Instead they did nothing and now facing being deported. There is NO difference between this family then any other person who has entered the U.S. illegally. It is still illegal period. NO ONE should be allowed to cross into the U.S. Illegally period. The fact that they left Germany because they did not agree with a LAW. That is not asylum that is simply someone going to another country because they did not like the laws in the country where they are from. They are still Illegal period, and there should NOT be anyone allowed to be in the U.S. Illegally. They could have stayed in Germany and filed the paperwork to come to the U.S. Legally. Instead, they crossed illegally into the U.S. and now face being deported. This might sound like there is no sympathy, BUT the facts are they are still illegally in the U.S. The U.S. border NEEDS to be CLOSED period.

[@willmont8258]

The issue is that this family gets deported, but anyone else from south of the border gets to stay forever, even if they commit crimes.

[@Celefey]

German here. Yes, there is no homeschooling in Germany, and that is just fine. There need to be standards of education that need to be met, and certain topics that need to be taught. And just because you don't agree with some stuff because of religious reasons, that doesn't mean your children shouldn't at least hear about those topics. The parents did go to a german public school and still obviously developed their own worldview, so no, children aren't "indoctrinated" as I read in some comment. So while I think that after 15years of staying in a country and having no criminal record they shoud absolutely be allowed to stay and be able to become citizens, I strongly disagree with the sentiment of them being "persecuted" and having to "flee" the country. I find the use of those words offensive to all those people who actually have to flee their home country. I wonder if or why they didn't apply for citizenship... I guess their reason for the asylum is no longer valid as all their children are grown up.

[@XavS-qs9lx]

Thanks for sharing your point of view. In France homeschooling has been made mostly illegal recently, and many families want to leave the country for that. I can understand that people don't want to put their kids to school here with all the issues with the french school system. But is that a reason to seek asylum, I don't think so, because many european countries allow homeschooling.

Greetings from Germany this morning! I live in Germany and I am so sorry for this family. The whole world has gone mad. I would home school my two daughters in a heartbeat here. The public schools here ( at least in my area) are absolute garbage and propaganda mills. The lack of school choice for us is pitiful and frightening. My husband and I have manged to pull our oldest daughter out of the public school this year and get here into the private gymnasium. After fighting for her to ride the bus two villages over. My youngest is starting first grade next year and for her to attend the private school two villages over I'm now dealing with bureaucracy that is unimaginable. Even though she's registered at the private school, the grade school in my area demanded I register her with them and bring proof of her vaccines even though she will not attend their school. So much for data protection. Now the fight starts again for a bus. I am American and this poor family's situation disgusts me and angers me. All because they want a better education for their kids. I will be praying for them and that soneone finds them a solution. Sorry it was long. Liebe Grüß aus dem Eifel Jacqueline

While I think people who have lived here legally for 15 years should have be able to stay, if home schooling is a reason for asylum, then everyone in the world could say, "We homeschool."

I sympathize with their situation. But it's very simplistic and incorrect to say that the way they made it to the US is somehow more above board than how people claiming asylum on the southern border come here. The right to request asylum is an internationally recognized basic human right, however you make it across the border.

[@NoWaySmokey8889]

They were granted asylum though. The ones at the border aren’t. And often don’t show up for their court date.

[@Balagoola]

I suggest you look at the application that they would have had to complete for travel authorization to the US. It specifically states that a person from a visa waiver country visiting the US may not apply for a change of nonimmigrant status, an extension of stay, or adjustment of status to temporary or permanent resident, and that violation of these terms will subject you to removal. Had they said "We want to go to the US to request asylum", they would never have been allowed in. I'm not faulting them for violating the terms. It's impossible to come to the US to request asylum without hiding one's intentions. That's just the way it's done. But don't fault people at the southern border for doing the same thing.

[@NoWaySmokey8889]

⁠I don’t fault ppl at the border. They are running from poverty. But that being said, poverty isn’t government persecution for your religion or race. That’s just reality. Our immigration system needs to be fixed so it’s easier to run from poverty. But running from poverty and the cartel is not religious persecution
