Godwin’s law
I’ve been on the internet long enough to run into many examples of Godwin’s law, which basically states that any argument, after enough time, will eventually have someone compared to Nazis. A corollary is that the person who first makes the comparison automatically loses the argument.
Well, in this case, I think the comparison is apt: Evangelical German Family Seeks U.S. Asylum to Homeschool Kids. In Germany, homeschooling is illegal, and school attendance is compulsory until the age of 18. What is often not noted is that the German compulsory school law was first created by the Nazi regime, who understood the best way to control a nation is to control the children, and that can best be done through the schools.
Pray for this family that they might have the God-given freedom to educate their children in the way they think is best.
