Is that bad?

Someone wants to educate their children at home, in Germany that's not ok. In the US it is, so in the US they get some level of asylum.

These folks aren't some terrorists, they're not hurting anyone... seems like a situation where there are two different approaches, not some serious crime.

It also is a case by case basis so who knows if it holds up in court for long.

Edit: Looks like they lost the asylum part of their bid:

I have no problems with America welcoming those people.

Without branding Germany a regime persecuting innocent people.

The asylum process basically means just that. Let them immigrate "normally", and everything is fine.

I think it depends on what you mean by "process" everyone gets some hearings and etc, that is the process.

That doesn't mean they've been accepted or IMO anything about Germany. You have to have a "process" even if the person feels that they're being persecuted because they don't like chocolate ice cream, a process doesn't mean anything about Germany.

Googling shows that a family went through the process... and lost the asylum bid.

Let me clarify: I'm not against the process, but against the decision to grant asylum.

Yes, it was reversed. Eventually.
