PURCELLVILLE, Va., -- Nearly two hundred homeschool leaders from over twenty countries will meet at the first Global Home Education Conference in Berlin, Germany, on November 1-4, 2012. Although Germany has been one of the most oppressive countries against homeschooling in the West, Patrick Meinhardt, a member of Germany's Free Democratic Party in the Bundestag and the party's education spokesman, is an integral part of the conference. This conference will highlight educational freedom as a "first-order human right" and help equip policymakers to guarantee homeschool freedom.
