superyooser's Journal: Germany upholds Hitler policy

I thought liberals loved multiculturalism. Oh, that doesn't include Christian culture. Christianity is subversive and hateful, and must be stamped out.

Homeschooling creates "parallel societies" that must be stamped out, according to the German government's defense of its 3rd Reich homeschooling prohibition being used now to justify the imprisonment of a 15-year-old student, Melissa Busekros, whose case is being taken to appeal.

Ein Volk! One Reich under Führer. But I'm just waiting for the German authorities to crack down on the Islamist parallel society. No, that won't happen. Christians are nice people and can be easily bullied. The Muslims will wage worldwide, bloody jihad over a comic.

The [Human Rights Court for the European Union] said schools represent society and "it was in the children's interest to become part of that society."

Of course, the children will be a part of that society, socially, economically, and politically. But the German government thinks that every citizen needs to be programmed like robots with identical left-wing beliefs: atheist, naturalist, evolutionist, postmodernist, socialist, environmental armageddonist, etc. Hey Germany, there's this thing called Freedom. Maybe you've heard of it? It paid you a visit 63 years ago. But you just can't shake your love affair with fascism. Your old flame is kindled again. (Oh, and we know you're helping the terrorists in the Middle East. You've just outsourced your pogroms.)

Tag this thinkofthechildren:

"The welfare of the child is the central concern in the actions of the Youth Welfare Office."

Yeah, they cared so much for the child that they tore her apart from her family and home, where her welfare was perfectly fine, and put her in prison! ... where they are probably trying to "deprogram" her Christian beliefs with liberal messages piped into her cell 24/7: "God is not real. The Bible is based on myths. The State is the source of all wisdom. Humans evolved by chance over millions of years. Trust in Darwin; all his words are true."

Achtung! Germany drags homeschool kids to class. Authorities haul crying children away to avoid 'danger' from parental teachings

Government declares war on homeschooling parents. Family's 'religious convictions' must meet state requirements

A government education official says the government is working to avoid future conflicts over homeschooling with one particular family by looking "for possibilities to bring the religious convictions of the family into line with the unalterable school attendance requirement."

In a related story, the U.S. teetered toward taking a step to become a police state with newly introduced "hate crime" legislation (in committee) that would violate the Constitution in multiple ways. Basically, it means that I would have to keep my beliefs secret, lest someone gets offended at my words and calls out the Thought Police attack dogs. In Soviet America, government reforms YOU.

Germany != liberal

[Marxist Hacker 42]

Or rather, liberal means an entirely different thing over there. Germany has *NEVER* embraced multiculturalism, and never will. Multiculturalism is a unique value to *American Liberalism*, a corruption of the melting pot ideal. I can't imagine any European country embracing that form of assimilation of outsiders; possibly to their destruction. But if they did it would result in their destruction anyway. I guess the real question is which way do you want to go: the majority Islamic Immigrant population

Then again, Texas does allow gay marriage by transexuals, while California used to ban them.

That's because in Texas, a man who gets a sex change is still considered a man since his genetics are unchanged, and therefore while to all outwards appearances a woman, is allowed to marry a genetic woman because the transexual is still genetically male.

In California, and remember this is all before the gay marriage issue became vitally important to our very survival, they considered the transexual to be a member of

Ah yes, WorldNetDaily, that bastion of great journalism.

Any article that begins The German government, in a throwback to its National Socialist Workers Party heritage does us one favor, at least: It demonstrates that the author is just spewing hateful bullshit. What really amuses me is how WorldNetDaily encourages the same sort of treatment of Muslims, but when fundie Christians are on the receiving end, suddenly it's not OK.

Germany also does not ban private tutors. That is utter and total nonsense. (Ju

Here is a list of Catholic, i.e. private, schools in our region. [bistum-hildesheim.de]

Here are several private tutoring businesses in our city. [gelbeseiten.de]

Here is a major renowned private school in Hannover. [is-hr.de]

Here is a Baptist-run private school in Hannover. [www.fesh.de]

All that off the top of my head. Further evidence that the articles are flat-out lying.

Meanwhile, in Iowa, the law on home schooling is very much like Germany's. [gomilpitas.com] Primary education can only be provided by a licensed educator, unless the parents apply for an exemption; parents that fail to comply are faced with fines (or in Iowa they lose their driver's license). More or less the same thing in Germany. So are Iowans now Nazis?

As I continue this dialogue, let me point out that WND is a Christian news organization. That will be important to remember later.

Aren't the tutors tutoring students who are in the public schools? Don't the tutors have to teach according to the state's guidelines? Can they devise teaching objectives and curricula that are independent of the government's?

The German government is also flatly not anti-reli

They are tutoring whoever pays them.

Don't the tutors have to teach according to the state's guidelines?

Uh, only in so far as they are helping kids to improve their grades, so of course they will likely be teaching the state curriculum if they are in a state school. That's kinda the point of tutoring. Other than that, you're free to teach your kid religious studies or whatever else if you so wish.

Look, just because groups have na
