US Sup Ct refuses to hear Romeike homeschooling case
by William A. Jacobson
Family faces deportation to Germany, where they risk fines, imprisonment and loss of children for homeschooling.
In an Orders list just released, the US Supreme Court has refused to grant certiorari to the petition filed by the Romeike family seeking asylum because of persecution of homeschoolers in Germany.
[BZ notes: see the US 6th Circuit Court ruling here, of Uwe Andreas Josef Romeike, et al, vs Eric Holder.]
The result is that the family faces deportation back to Germany, where they will risk fines, imprisonment, and loss of their children if they continue homeschooling.
Background on the case is set forth in these prior posts:
- DOJ seeks deportation of family persecuted in Germany for homeschooling
- More on the Romeike homeschooling deportation case
But here’s the unspoken part of the equation: the Romeike’s are Christian and religious, and they will be deported.
More on the case and the situation:
The Romeike’s have been here since 2008, seeking political asylum. They fled, essentially, Deutsch persecution for daring to homeschool their children. Because of their insistence upon homeschooling and their refusal to turn their children over to the government, they faced fines, custody and — literally — the loss of their children
From FoxNews.com:
They wanted to live in a country where they could raise their children in accordance with their Christian beliefs.
The Romeikes were initially given asylum, but the Obama administration objected – claiming that German laws that outlaw homeschooling do not constitute persecution.
Really? Imagine that.
On Monday, the Supreme Court declined to hear the Romeike’s appeal – paving the way for the Christian family of eight to be deported.
Had the family stayed in Germany, where homeschooling is illegal, they would have faced the prospect of losing their children. Like the Pilgrims, they fled their homeland yearning for a place where they could be free.
Perhaps it’s time for this:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
And those who seek freedom from an establishment of a religion in their own country, are they now persona non gratis? When we have, literally, millions of persons who do not respect our fundamental border rights in the slightest?
The US will let Yemenis and Syrians into the country who default the United States by stealing SSI and Social Security benefits for themselves and for the dead and for children who are no longer in the nation, but the US won’t allow a mere eight more people into the country who seek actual and true religious freedom. Is it because the Romeike family is Caucasoid? Is it because they procreate and have a large family? Is it because they are religious? What is it?
Is this what we’ve become? The complete antithesis of our founding?

If anybody still thought there wasn’t a ‘war’ against Christianity by this administration, they should take a close look at this one… Holder was right in the middle of it…
Don’t stop at just Christianity. It’s a war against families, it’s a war against the New Minorities, it’s a war against home schooling, and it’s a war on culture.
H.L. Mencken (1880 to 1956) said:
“The most dangerous man, to any government, is the man who is able to think things out for himself. Almost inevitably, he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane and intolerable.”
This is a pogrom to keep Americans ignorant and dependent upon government.

Looks to me like they will be deporting an American Citizen unless that is an old photo. 2008-2014 = 6 years. That youngest one well under that age unless the photo has some age to it. If not, get chranking and manufacture an anchor baby. What is good for the goose……..
.45ACP+P, first, thanks for visiting and thanks for taking the time to comment. The +P part is very important.
That said, my next post will explain some things. But yes, “get cranking”. . .

So white illegal aliens are good, brown illegal aliens are bad. Got It.
Actually, Bystander, I think you have it 100% bass-ackwards.
There are 11 MILLION brown illegal aliens already HERE. This is one New Minority family. One. And the entire DOJ focused on them. Plus I suspect these folks don’t bring TB and drug money with them from Germany, and have ethics, and are educated.
You know, those points people don’t wish to speak or write about.

President Obama and his minions are responsible for this socialist ruling.
Maybe if Obama gets an ass kicking from Putin,he’ll wake up and change his ways??
NOT!!!! The only way to stop this Obama crap is to vote him out of office.
First is this upcoming 2014 vote to get control of the Senate, and also keep the House of Representatives.
Then Obama will have to rule by fiat until a Republican/Conservative president is elected!
So, illegal, undocumented aliens have free reign here, but god forbid a Christian family escaping persecution are being sent home and most likely be facing prison, and losing their precious children are being booted out, when they went through the proper channels?
Christianity is under attack here in the states, we are slowly becoming minorities and losing any semblance of freedom.
Homeschooling will be targeted here in the states, I guarantee it. Why? Because these people are educating their children properly and without government interference.
I loathe the Obama administration.
