A new court ruling categorizing homeschooling as "child welfare endangerment" contains "chilling" parallels to earlier decisions that in their time allowed German authorities to confiscate children from their parents if they were part of "fanatical Bible" groups, according to a homeschooling advocacy group.
Those earlier decisions, according to information being publicized by Netwerk Bildungsfreiheit, an organization that advocates for homeschoolers in Germany, were from the Nazi era.
As WND has reported, the newest court ruling not only found the basis for child endangerment in homeschooling, but also determined a local government was remiss in allowing a mother to take her two children to another country where homeschooling is legal....
Personally I don't subscribe to the novel Regulative Principle of Government. However, I am intrigued in your choice of moniker given your views on this issue. Are you being deliberately ironic?

Neil - thank you for your FYI's, always a source of pertinent information.
Legal option: "Operate a home school under the religious exemption statute"
Notice: "File request to acknowledge religious exemption with the local school board chairman"
You still have to get Caesar's permission! The so-called exemption comes from the STATE and is not guaranteed.
God already gives the right to godly educate, but when running to Caesar seeking an exemption, you've just admitted you have no right, which is why you are requesting an exemption.

I thought that Dr. Clark from Germany mentioned, if you can get enough children together you can have your own private school, and what is taught there is pretty much up to the people who run the school?
I don't think the people in Nebraska have many complaints on the freedom of home schooling -- I think.

Move to Virginia if you want no rules for homeschooling. that's where I live.
As for kids getting snatched away here, yes they can, but you can take certain precautions to ensure they don't. Like not allowing social worker freaks in your door for instance.
If you have schooling like you have in the Fundamentalist Church of Latter-Day Saints, you would want some state supervision. Remember if you give home-schooling to Christians you have to give it to Muslims, Mormons, Hindus, and Communists (and Nazis) also.
Ah, well, for you who are interested in home schooling in Nebraska,
Children can be violently snatched away right here in the US for any reason (but of course it'll always be a "well-intentioned" one - ha ha ha). See www.kidjacked.com
