Court Denies Asylum to German Home-Schoolers

  3. 2:33, are you joking? this comment is certainly laughable. again; you must be totally uneducated or government school educated. of course if you were government school educated you were brain washed by the government. my, my, my isn't that strange? to think you were brain washed by your school system...
    homeschooling is the Best form of schooling there is. this was just about the only form of education prior to government schools and we did just fine with this system. we actually had very smart grads and if you go back in history you will see they were far and away ahead in their scholastic abilities than we are today.
