Homeschooling Growing Seven Times Faster than Public School Enrollment – Will Government Restrict It?
As government becomes more and more intrusive into how they believe parents should raise their children, many families are choosing to educate their children at home at an increasing rate. Health Impact News has reported many stories of places across the country that are refusing school attendance based on mandatory vaccines, or stories of local government officials, such as "child protection services", forcibly entering into homes and removing children by force for simply not following their prescribed ideas for medical care. But will the government move to restrict parents from educating their children at home? A recent case where the State Department decided to prosecute and deport a German homeschool family that had fled Germany and their Nazi-era prohibition against homeschooling to seek asylum in the U.S. may give us some clues regarding current attitudes in U.S. government towards homeschoolers in America.
