CBNNews.com - HEIDELBERG, Germany - In today's Germany, almost anything goes. Just don't try to teach your children at home.

Because if you do, you'll be sent to jail.

German parents who want to homeschool have to decide. This, in a western democracy that is tolerant of just about anything, except teaching your children at home.

In a little town near Heidelberg, we met members of four German homeschool families who either had already served jail time or were about to be arrested.

They are actually German Baptists from Russia. Because of their German blood, they were allowed to return to Germany to become citizens when the Cold War ended.

They probably never imagined that the persecution they faced in the old Soviet Union would follow them here.

They've been forced to give up homeschooling for now, and place their children in a private Christian school.
