Right Reason: Get with the program...or else
"Get with the program...or else" is how the present situation for a homeschooling family has become in Germany.
16-year-old homeschooled Melissa Busekros is unfortunate enough to have been "diagnosed" with it. Result: Melissa was dragged off by fifteen policemen to a psychiatric ward and now has been placed in foster care. ...the "resolution" in question would just mean Mr. and Mrs. Busekros could go their childless way without being further harassed. As things stand, they refused to give up all their children and are now themselves going to be "psychologically evaluated."
Of course, this is an amazing twist of events in increasingly Muslim Europe. Not too different from our own reaction that the more fear the fanatical Islamists engender the more the conservative Christian communities pay for it- in freedoms, in prejudice, and now it seems, in persecution. Fear of fanatical Islam increases, and Christians who wish to homeschool find their daughter dragged to psych wards and their family attacked with the full force of the Social Services aligned with the State police force. Explain to me the logic of that conclusion, please.
Here is a matter for protest from all who value freedom, and who care about human rights.
