Homeschooling

The parents of a homeschooling family in Germany have each been sentenced to three months in prison for the crime of homeschooling their seven children.

The sentence was issued after a federal prosecutor said last year that he was dissatisfied with the fines the couple had already paid for homeschooling their children.

Homeschooling is illegal in Germany under a dating back to the Hitler era. Homeschooling families in the country have faced increasing persecution in recent years, with police in several cases physically transporting children to school and even removing one teenager from her parent’s care. German courts have consistently deemed homeschooling a form of child abuse.

With more countries in the West banning homeschooling, let’s pray into this issue, so that Christian parents can continue to educate their children in a manner consistent with their beliefs - and not the secular world’s.
