There are two types of people who make a trip to the rubbish heap, or as it is named in America, "the dump". One person goes to dispose of items. Another person goes to retrieve items.

The German government believes that they have kept a treasure from The Thousand Year Reich from being tossed onto the rubbish heap of ideas, and so too does the U.S. Attorney General, Eric Holder.
"Hitler told parents that “your child belongs to us already…What are you? You will pass on. Your descendants however now stand in the new camp. In a short time they will know nothing else but this new community.”
"We have never invested as much in public education as we should have because we've always had kind of a private notion of children. Your kid is yours and totally your responsibility. We haven't had a very collective notion of these are our children,” she says in a spot for the network’s “Lean Forward” campaign. “So part of it is we have to break through our kind of private idea that kids belong to their parents, or kids belong to their families, and recognize that kids belong to whole communities."

It would seem that Adolf Hitler, Melissa Harris Perry, and the U.S. Justice Department have found some common ground when it comes to the education of children and the belief that children are possessions of the state.
There was a brief filed in the Sixth Circuit of the United States Court of Appeals on June 26, 2013 by the US Justice Department in the case of Uwe Andreas Josef Romeike, et al, v Eric H. Holder, Jr. Attorney General. In that brief the Department of Justice suggests that educating children at home is not a basic human right.
"On the contrary, in the case of a German homeschooling family seeking political asylum in the United States, the right to homeschooling can be denied in the interest of creating “an open pluralistic society.” The Justice Department concluded that “Germany has no persecutory motive against religious minorities when enforcing the compulsory attendance statute,” rather,“teaching tolerance to children of all backgrounds helps to develop the ability to interact as a fully functioning citizen of Germany.”-from Catholic World Report, Anne Henderschott
Economic reasons are not the only reasons that individuals seek refuge in the United States. Socialists reduce man to his utilitarian value to the state so the measure of Germany's law against home schooling according to the U.S. Justice Department is that teaching tolerance to children helps to develop a fully functioning citizen of Germany. Why would the U.S. Courts be concerned with the development of fully functioning citizens of Germany? Who determines what a fully functioning citizen of Germany is, or for that matter a fully functioning citizen of any state is? It is the party in power. In Orwellian fashion to create an open and pluralistic society Germany, and by extension Eric Holder believe that children must be removed from their parents educational care and all children must be taught in a state approved school to ensure a diverse pluralistic state.
Those that home school their children and those that send their children to parochial schools in the United States should be concerned with this case against the Romeike family. At some point in the future the federal government could use the legal precedent from the Romeike case to end home schooling and to close parochial schools because they are not teaching tolerance and not producing fully functioning citizens of the United States. You might want to read the last two paragraphs before you answer the door in the new tolerant and pluralistic state.
"On August 29, 2013, in a raid on another Christian homeschooling family’s residence near Darmstadt, Germany, a team of 20 police officers, social workers, and special agents forcibly removed all four of the children of Dirk and Petra Wunderlich. The children, ages 7 to 14, were removed from their parents’ home because the Wunderlichs continued to defy the German ban on homeschooling."
"Judge Koenig, a Darmstadt family court judge, signed the order on August 28, 2013, authorizing the immediate seizure of Dirk and Petra Wunderlich’s children. Citing the parents’ failure to cooperate with the authorities and send the children to school, the judge authorized “the use of force against the children” if necessary, reasoning that such force might be required because the children most likely had “adopted the parents’ opinions regarding homeschooling” and that “no cooperation could be expected” from either the parents or the children."-from Catholic World Report, Anne Henderschott
