>Homeschooling: The Future of Liberty  - Ron Paul - 
You were correct in pointing out that public schools are not mandated in the constitution. However, the bill of rights makes no mention of home schooling (a point you elided) and for Burman to have based his decision to allow the Romeikes asylum based upon an imaginary right was wrong. He should be removed from the bench.

If you could actually understand what you read, you would appreciate that I did not claim that home schooling has failed to produce ANY doctors, engineers or scientists. So, to answer your question of where that moronic statistic came from, it came from you. You just made it up and attributed it to me.... And if you want to talk moronic statistics being pulled from one's ass, your claim that the capabilities of home schooled children far exceeding those of children in the public education system is without factual basis. Yes, there are doubtlessly individual cases where that is true, but there is certainly not any hard evidence to support that position.

As for the Romeikes needing protection, what utter balderdash. It is their children who need protection from their idiot parents. And your comparison of the situation faced by the Romeikes and those hiding Jews from the Nazis is ludicrous in the extreme. Talk about hyperbole! Those hiding Jews knew that the Jews were most likely to be killed if discovered. The Romeike children are not slated for death, but an education. And the parents are not facing a bullet in the neck should they show their faces in the Fatherland again. If the parents want to supplement that education with some home schooling, they are perfectly free to do so. There is no law forbidding it.

It must also be asked; just what is it about the German education system that has the Romeikes feeling compelled to leave their friends and family behind to seek asylum in America? If there exists a very good reason, then one can only wonder why other Germans have not done the same. Methinks there is no such reason and that the Romeikes are crackpots.

As for Dr. Paul being correct about this, if he is , then all of his previous comments about activist judges should be renounced. A principled person such as Dr. Paul must appreciate that he cannot be against judges making law in every other instance, but applaud them when they unilaterally rewrite the bill of rights in a way that earns his approval. Their job is to apply the law, not make it. If home schooling is to be a basic human right, it is up to the legislative branch of government to include it in the bill of rights.

Beginning of the headline :A common feature of authoritarian regimes is the criminalization of alternatives to government-controlled education. Dictators recognize the danger that free thought poses to their rule, and few things promote the thinking of "unapproved" thoughts like an education controlled by parents instead of the state. That is why the National Socialist (Nazi) government of Germany outlawed homeschooling in 1938. Sadly, these Nazi-era restrictions on parental rights remain the law in Germany... Read More
