The right to determine where children do or do not travel lies with their legal guardians, which in this case are no longer their parents. The actual legal guardian is in possession of the passports.
It is a democratic country, apparently the majority don't mind this ban on homeschooling. Now yes, I am speaking from a far away perception. Anyone from Germany please help us out here. Is this this seen as such an egregious abuse of power people's power is just not enough to overturn it or is this what most would agree with?
In Germany, no-one cares about homeschooling. Other than some neo-nazis, religious cults, and some Christians who believe their children's minds would be poisoned if they were exposed to regular children, that is.
In Germany, this is seen as religious wing-nuts not getting their way, nothing more.
