-LIFE WITH BIG BROTHER- 7 homeschooling dads thrown in jail! Families fined for refusing to send children to government institutions! by Ron Strom | October 28, 2004 © 2004 WorldNetDaily.com Seven homeschooling fathers in Germany spent several days in jail for refusing to pay fines that were imposed on them for failing to send their children to government schools. The fathers, who are part of the Twelve Tribes Community in Klosterzimmern, Germany, were forced to spend between six and 16 days in what the group's website translates as "coercive jail."
According to the group's website, which includes a chronology of its battle with the government, the men initially refused to go to jail. The police then picked them up and brought them to a lock-up in Augsburg, Bavaria, on Oct. 18. The first father was released from custody on Sunday. "The authorities want to 'bend' the parents' will so they will pay their fines, stop homeschooling their children and instead send them to public schools. The mothers (three have small, nursing children) are supposed to go to jail later," states the group's website. The site says the men appealed to police not to force their wives to jail at a later time.
Said the released homeschooling dad:
According to Hal Young, president of North Carolinians for Home Education, who has followed the plight of the German families, the media in Germany have given the homeschoolers favorable coverage. The families are scheduled for a hearing on Nov. 14, which will address further fines they have refused to pay. As WorldNetDaily reported, some German families have escaped the nation to prevent the state from taking custody of their children.
