‘BRUTAL AND VICIOUS’: ARMED GERMAN POLICE STORM HOMESCHOOLING FAMILY’S HOUSE AND FORCIBLY SEIZE CHILDREN, REPORT CLAIMS

The Romeike family’s very public legal battle has brought to light the homeschooling community’s ongoing battle inside Germany. Educating children in this manner is illegal in the European nation, which led Uwe and Hannelore Romeike to inevitably seek refuge. While the family’s battle for asylum in the U.S. continues, there’s another story coming out of Germany that will likely send chills down the spines of homeschooling advocates.

On Thursday, Dirk and Petra Wunderlich reportedly saw authorities storm their home and remove their four children, ages seven to 14. The offense? Continuing to homeschool their children, despite the government’s laws against doing so.

The Wunderlich family’s plight is highlighted in a release from the Home School Legal Defense Association, a nonprofit organization that works to defend families who choose the alternative education model.

“At 8:00 a.m. on Thursday, August 29, 2013, in what has been called a “brutal and vicious act,” a team of 20 social workers, police officers, and special agents stormed a homeschooling family’s residence near Darmstadt, Germany, forcibly removing all four of the family’s children,” the organization said.

Hitler seems to be winning after all…..
