HSLDA Files Political Asylum Case
The Home School Legal Defense Association has issued this press release on the Christian Newswire that reports:
A homeschooling family who recently fled Germany has filed for political asylum in the United States. “The persecution of homeschoolers in Germany has dramatically intensified,” said HSLDA staff attorney Michael P. Donnelly. “They are regularly fined thousands of dollars, sent to prison, or have the custody of their children taken away simply because they choose to home educate.”
Uwe and Hannelore Romeike formerly of Bissingen, Germany along with their five children made it to the United States in August of this year . . .
HSLDA, with support from the Alliance Defense Fund, has hired immigration attorney Will Humble of Houston, Texas to handle this groundbreaking case.
