A Swedish family is faced with the prospect of losing their children simply
because they home school.
The Home School Legal Defense
Association (HSLDA) is reporting that Swedish authorities in June boarded a
plane scheduled to depart for India and removed Christer and Annie Johansson's
seven-year-old son Dominic from the custody of the Christian couple. HSLDA
attorney Mike Donnelly says Swedish officials did not have a warrant and were
acting in accordance to the U.N. Convention on the Rights of the
Child. (Swedish authorities frown on home
schooling )
Donnelly notes that the Swedish government does not believe that
home schooling is a proper way to educate a child.
(So a government knows what is best for your children? This is an outrage. If this was a case which showed facts of the children being abused I would agree it was the right move to take the children but there are no facts outside that the Swedish government hates home schooling. This is sad for this family and an outrage that should concern all of us who care about children. Could this be coming to America?)
