Germany outlaws home-schooling

-
Ahhh, so uber liberal Germany persecutes home-schooling?!

Last summer a German friend scoffed at our American puritanical ways of, as he arrogantly put it, protecting one from himself. He scoffed at our laws against open bottles, buying liquor on Sundays, smoking, abortion, suicide because, in his progressive post-Berlin Wall attitude, a person always knows what is best for himself and acts accordingly; that govt has no right to stop a man from hurting himself, be it intentional or otherwise.

European countries...with their heightened devotion to recycling, gay rights, carbon footprints, mayonnaise and nudity, home-schooling is...evil and...unpatriotic?

Now I learn that a German family has been granted political asylum in America because they wanted to home-school their Christian children away from the compulsory vulgar and atheist curriculum that is German education. Huh! Germany, along with other European countries, deems parents ill qualified and detrimental to teach their own children literature, mathematics, morality and the basics. So in those countries, with their haughty, heightened devotion to recycling, gay rights, carbon footprints, mayonnaise and nudity, home-schooling is somehow...evil and...unpatriotic?  Now who's the Big Brother!
