"Police storm homeschool class, take children by force"

[Just]

 

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.

“The children were taken to unknown locations,” HSLDA said. “Officials ominously promised the parents that they would not be seeing their children anytime soon.”The raid, which took place Thursday at 8 a.m. as the children were beginning their day’s classes, has been described by observers as “brutal and vicious.”

reminds me of how native american children were taken from their families and put into schools far away from their homes and never got to see their parents again until they finished school, its sickening.

Maybe it's just a fun German historical reenactment?  You know those crazy Nazi cosplayers are really into the authenticity.  Come on gang, let's kidnap people from their homes for old times sake!  It'll be a hoot.

  One of the many low points in US history. Once the children (if lucky) returned to their families, not only were they incapable of speaking fluent english, they were incapable of speaking with their own families since native tongue was forbidden in the schools.  If you got some time and some pent up tears in need of release, browse through Zitakala-Sa's  journal - "The School Days of an Indian Girl" here:

 They'd shave their heads which was reserved in the tribe for shaming the worst of the worst on top of all kinds of other physical and psychological abuse in these 'schools'.
