The family
moved to Tennessee in 2008 after a fight with German officials over their right
to home school their children. Germany
does not allow home schooling and threatened to take the children. The family had been granted asylum by a
federal immigration judge in Tennessee, but that grant was overturned by the
appeals court in May.
The family is
being represented by the Home School Legal Defense Association. Attorney and chairman of the association,
Michael Farris said he believes the appeals court was wrong when it did not
find that the German school law did not discriminate against religious minorities.Faith on Trial is where we examine the influence of law and society on people of faith. Here we will look at those cases and events that impinge on the rights of people to fully practice their faith. Faith on Trial is heard every Saturday at 2 p.m. and Sunday at 9 p.m. on the Iowa Catholic Radio Network and anytime on our podcast at : https://iowacatholicradio.com/faith-on-trial/.
