That's a good question...
Are we Free?
I am so sorry you all are experiencing this heat right now. I can't even imagine how Louise feels right now. It's a threat to the state when a child thinks on his/her own. It's a threat when they know children are out there being taught properly and being taught truths by their parents instead of being brainwashed and pushed to controlled thinking.
I agree with you that people are afraid to stand up for their rights and a lot of them still don't know or understand what their rights are. If they knew, they would fight more in my opinion. It is a scary thing to them because they have been so dumbed down and intimidated by the state that it's ridiculous. Although where I live right now homeschooling is legal, we are preparing ourselves if a situation were to occur as the one you are in. What do we do if it changes, what do we do if they come to our door one day and say you must stop teaching your children?
Do you all have legal support in any way? We have joined different organizations filled with lawyers that are homeschool dads that fight the right of the people to teach their children. HSLDA fights homeschool matters daily. As you are traveling abroad to find a place to settle maybe you can look into them and see how they can help you with your legal matters.??!
We are the experts in teaching our children! We were equipped and given stewardship over them. Let us do our jobs as parents! (I'm saying this in my shouting voice).
Stay encouraged Whittam family! I pray they do not take your babies.
Thank you @crosheille for your response.
I think you are right, they see it as a threat and they don't want us setting an example for others to follow.
I'm so happy for you that it is still legal to homeschool where you are and I hope you never have to go through what we just did.
Thanks for the offer of legal advice, as we are not In Sweden anymore I am hoping we don't need to deal with the Swedish system anymore.
As always, I thank you for your wonderful support and your kind words, thay really do help in situations like this.
Bless.
I'm just glad you all are safe. I just read your latest post. The video of you and your children brought tears to my eyes...what a blessing that you all are together. Thank you for taking the time out to respond to my comments. I don't expect you to with all that is going on so that means a great deal to me.
I pray you will not have to deal with legal matters as well. We like having HSLDA to have our backs just in case, you just never know what you'll run into to. Many Blessings~
