Comments on: German Schools – Honduran Prisons Really About the Same http://www.popehat.com/2010/03/03/german-schools-honduran-prisons-really-about-the-same/ A Group Complaint about Law, Liberty, and Leisure Thu, 09 Feb 2012 22:39:39 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Ezra http://www.popehat.com/2010/03/03/german-schools-honduran-prisons-really-about-the-same/comment-page-1/#comment-70116 Ezra Thu, 04 Mar 2010 21:45:42 +0000 http://www.popehat.com/?p=7495#comment-70116 Again, my problem isn't with home schooling per se (although I think it's a bad idea, much like being a fan of Creed it's a personal choice..) it's with this family abusing the political asylum statutes. Political asylum is for people with no other recourse. Again, you can't tell me that there is any reason the German family should have been let in, and the Brazilian man not let in. Other than blatant racism of course. Sigh, I just noticed that once again Patrick said everything I should have said better & faster.

These people should be sent back to Germany.

Especially when the issue is whether the state can force your children to be educated in government schools. And especially when that state is Germany. After all, we all know who said "He alone, who owns the youth, gains the future." That's right, this post just got Godwined. I mean that your being like Hitler.

Do you hate them because they're immigrants? Or because they're homeschoolers? You say that this is "a gross misuse of the political asylum statutes," but do you really think that gaming the immigration laws is so terrible a crime?

Next? Well, as a member of the religious right I gotta tell you that I support neither the German family nor the Salvadoran family getting into the country under these pretenses.
