Homeschooled German Children Abducted by Government in SWAT-Style Raid

Maybe the Third Reich isn’t as over as we thought:

Four children, ages 7 to 14, have been forcibly taken from their Darmstadt, Germany, home by police armed with a battering ram, and their parents have been told they won’t see them again soon, all over the issue of homeschooling, according to a stunning new report from the Home School Legal Defense Association.

HSLDA, the world’s premiere advocate for homeschoolers, said the family of Dirk and Petra Wunderlich has battled for several years Germany’s World War II-era requirement that all children submit to the indoctrination programs in the nation’s public schools.

The shocking raid was made solely because the parents were providing their children’s education, HSLDA said. The organization noted the paperwork that authorized police officers and social workers to use force on the children contained no claims of mistreatment.

Hitler explained the importance of mandatory government schooling back in 1937:

“The youth of today is ever the people of tomorrow. For this reason we have set before ourselves the task of inoculating our youth with the spirit of this community of the people at a very early age, at an age when human beings are still unperverted and therefore unspoiled. This Reich stands, and it is building itself up for the future, upon its youth. And this new Reich will give its youth to no one, but will itself take youth and give to youth its own education and its own upbringing.”

The Obama Regime is on the same page. After an immigration judge granted the Romeike family political refugee status due to the treatment homeschoolers receive in Germany,

The Obama administration, unhappy with the outcome, appealed and obtained an order from a higher court that the family must return to Germany. The Obama administration has argued in court parents essentially have no right to determine how and what their children are taught, leaving the authority with the government.

Meanwhile, literally millions of Third World welfare colonists are allowed to stay in the country after entering illegally with no claim to political refugee status.

The Romeikes should have looked for liberty elsewhere. Given the trajectory of our politics over the last few years, it won’t be long before American homeschoolers are treated to scenes like this:
