Give Me Your Tired, Your Poor, Your Huddled Masses Yearning to Homeschool.
So why did he seek asylum in the U.S. rather than relocate to nearby Austria or another European country that allows homeschooling? Romeike&#8217;s wife Hannelore tells TIME the family [...]]]></description>

The ruling is sure to ignite passions on both sides of the debate — and may spur other parents around the world to follow the Romeikes&#8217; lead. If this happens, the U.S. could see a flood of a new type of refugees —educational asylum seekers.

		<description><![CDATA[A post on the NH Parent First site makes a solid argument for trusting parents first:
It is wrong to conflate responsible home schooling parents with individual parents who might be irresponsible.
It is pretty incontrovertible that one should not demonize a whole group just because certain individuals from that group might do something wrong. Yet, for [...]]]></description>
