Many of you, my readers and listeners, have deep core convictions. These convictions include, as parents, a responsibility to educate their children in the best way they deem appropriate. The Romeike family is no different.

The Romeike family fled Germany in 2008 after two years of persecution by the German government. In 2006, the family made the decision to homeschool their children based upon their deeply held religious belief they were responsible to God for their children’s education. They also had growing concerns about the anti-Christian and sexualized elements of the public school curricula in Germany.
