Homeschooling is illegal in Germany, a vestige of the Nazi era that has never been corrected. A Christian German family came to the US to protect their opportunity to educate their children, but they now face deportation. There is a petition to the White House asking for permanent asylum for the family. A few thousand more signatures are required for the White House to respond to the petition. Signing the petition is a two step process. If you want to sign the petition, first sign up at the White House petition site, and then proceed to the petition to sign it by clicking. This link will guide you through the process:
