Sad news – the Obama Administration’s DOJ has prevailed and the Romeike family, who was seeking asylum from persecution in Germany for Homeschooling their kids, will be deported.

For those unfamiliar with this story, here are my previous articles on the Romeike Case:

FOX:

On Monday, the Supreme Court declined to hear the Romeike’s appeal – paving the way for the Christian family of eight to be deported.

“I think this is a part of the Obama administration’s overall campaign to crush religious freedom in this country,” said Michael Farris, chairman of the Home School Legal Defense Association. His organization is representing family.

“The Obama administration’s attitude toward religious freedom, particularly religious freedom for Christians is shocking,” he told me in an exclusive telephone interview. “I have little doubt that if this family had been of some other faith that the decision would have never been appealed in the first place. They would have let this family stay.”

Perhaps Congress will wake up and do something, but I hold out little hope for that.  This administration has waged war on Religious freedom and this DOJ has already stated that they do not believe homeschooling is a “fundamental right”.

Common Core debate rages and parents are opting to homeschool on a greater scale than ever before, but be warned the assault on homeschooling has begun. This was an opening shot.
