Dear Members and Friends of Homeschooling,
Today,
the United States Supreme Court declined to review Uwe and Hannelore
Romeike’s asylum case. We knew it was an uphill battle since the Court
only accepts 80–100 out of nearly 10,000 requests each year. While we
are disappointed, the court’s decision in no way changes our commitment
to fight for the Romeikes and homeschooling freedom. The court’s
decision is not a decision on the merits of the case—however, it was the
last judicial hope for the family.But we will not give up and see this family returned to Germany where they will face certain persecution. Even now, we have been working with supportive members of Congress to introduce legislation that could help the Romeikes and others who flee persecution. We will keep you informed as the legislation progresses. We will undoubtedly need your help at the right time. Although our judicial efforts on behalf of this courageous family are over for now, we are resolved to fight on for them and homeschooling freedom.
We are deeply grateful for the support and prayers of our members, friends, and allies over the course of this case and especially this past week. Please continue to pray as we review all possible options for the Romeikes. For more information, visit hslda.org/romeike.
For Liberty,
Michael P. Farris
Chairman, HSLDA
