Tilman and Dagmar Neubronner of Bremen, Germany have a choice to make: pay a €6000 fine Thursday that they can’t afford, send their sons Moritz and Thomas to school against the wishes of the boys, or continue homeschooling and risk jail.

Dagmar Neubronner, the mother and an author who has appeared on several German TV programs, says, “We cannot and do not want to pay this amount, so we will possibly get imprisoned. We are ready to endure this because it could be a strong signal for the public discussion if well-educated, well-integrated, intellectual parents…get imprisoned because of compulsory schooling.”

This CBN News story provides some background on the home schooling situation in Germany. 

There is a chance that nothing will happen Thursday, since the Neubronner case is under appeal to the Federal Constitution Court in Germany.  It’s uncertain.
