Great!
Dear HSLDA Members and Friends:
The
Supreme Court ordered Attorney General Eric Holder to respond in writing
to Home School Legal Defense Association’s petition on behalf of the
Romeikes.
After
fleeing persecution for homeschooling in Germany in 2008, the Romeike
family was granted asylum by Immigration Judge Lawrence O. Burman in
2010. The Obama administration revoked their asylum in 2012 and the
Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the administration’s position
saying that Germany was merely enforcing a general law regarding
truants. HSLDA appealed to the Supreme Court on October 10, 2013.
“We are pleased by the Court’s interest in the issues we have presented in our petition,” said HSLDA Chairman Michael Farris. “Romeike v. Holder
gives the Court an opportunity to address important religious freedom
and human rights issues. We hope that after due consideration of the
government’s brief they will agree to hear our case.”
Reason to Hope
Over 10,000 appeals are made to the Supreme Court each year, but only about 80 are heard.
HSLDA Director of Litigation and Senior Counsel James R. Mason said he is hopeful.
