Hitler's reign and homeschoolers

A frightening story out of Germany comes when a 16 year old child is removed from her home because of sub-par grades in math and Latin. Unbelievably, the country is still under then ban put in place during Hitler's regime and they haven;t bothered to amend or dismiss it. It does make one wonder how many other laws they decided to keep out of fear or laziness from that time. This is one thing that keeps me in fear of homeschooling because of my special needs kids. Not that the US would be this extreme(at least not YET) but I don't think either of my boys would test out with their peers. I will be following the outcome of this particular case.
