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.

the Remeike family has been "home educating their children since the start of the school year, something which is legal in practically the whole of the (European Union)."

they were confronted by police officials, who, in an incredibly inconsiderate manner, forced their crying children into a police car and drove them to the school. The police stated that they had been instructed to continue this measure in the coming week," the network statement said....

The court said the Konrads [another case] belong to a "Christian community which is strongly attached to the Bible" and rejected public schooling because of the explicit sexual indoctrination programs that the courses there include.

The German court already had ruled that the parental "wish" to have their children grow up in a home without such influences "could not take priority over compulsory school attendance." The decision also said the parents do not have an "exclusive" right to lead their children's education.... that schools represent society, and "it was in the children's interest to become part of that society.... The parents' right to education did not go as far as to deprive their children of that experience," the ruling said.

Here's another family's summary:

They have been to court, they have been visited by welfare workers to make sure the children are "safe", they have been threatened that their children will receive a police escort to school, and they have been threatened with loss of parental custody.

Mrs. M does not answer her front door unless she knows beyond a shadow of a doubt who is there, and she doesn't answer her telephone (they have multiple unlisted lines....) but screens all calls through her answering machine.

During the ponderous lull at the end of the conversation, I whispered audibly, "Polizei-Stadt" [police state]

Mr. M looked up from his laptop. "Exactly".
