Background
Germany's Ban on Home-Schooling dates back to Hitler's-era. Resently in the news a 17 year old was taken from her home Then the authorities proceeded to place the teen in a Nuremberg psychiatric hospital, where she was interrogated by a psychiatrist for more than four hours and finally released.

But as Home School Legal Defence Association (HSLDA) senior counsel Chris Klicka point outs, that was not the end of the student’s troubles. "Fifteen police officers and some social workers came back, and they removed Melissa, took her into state custody, and put her in the psychiatric ward because the psychiatrist, believe it or not, had concluded she had 'school phobia.' It's just completely ridiculous," he says. "She's still in the hospital."

The Petition States:
I add my voice to urge Christians to heed the biblical command to "help the least of these" by calling the German Embassy in Washington, DC, to protest the German government's harsh treatment of Melissa Busekros and the many other home-school students and families who are being targeted in that country.
