AG Holder: Banning Home Schooling Does Not

Because Germany does not allow home schooling, the Romeike family sought asylum in the US so they could home school their children.  Even though the federal government objected a federal district court judge granted asylum to the family.  So, the federal government appealed to the Board of Immigration Appeals and remarkably won the case (denying the Romeike family's request).  The Home School Legal Defense Association then took up the case in behalf of the family and has appealed it to the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals.  I was stunned at the position taken by US Attorney General, Eric Holder, in seeking to deny the Romeike family's desire to home school their children.  The article at the first link summarizes three arguments Holder makes.  But what stunned me is Holder's belief that a law that bans homeschooling does not violate  fundamental liberties.  Can you believe this from our Attorney General?  See the two links below.  George Burns
