State threatens to use force on German homeschooling family...

German education officials say they are willing to use "force" as their options dwindle in a years-long fight against a homeschooling family, according to a report today from the Home School Legal Defense Association.

Jurgen and Rosemarie Dudek have been homeschooling their children in Germany for more than a decade, and for a good portion of that time have been battling in court with the government and its attempt to enforce a Nazi-era law requiring public school attendance.

The couple was sentenced to prison but but won an appeal and now is appealing a fine.

But the HSLDA, which has been active in supporting the family's homeschool efforts, reported today that a letter to the family threatens the use of force. Full story...
