Uwe and Hannelore Romeike and their five children, aged from three to 11, will appeal to a court on Thursday in Tennessee, where they fled after attempts by German police three years ago to force the family to obey the country's laws which make school attendance compulsory.

Mr Romeike, like many conservative parents in the US, said he wanted to teach his own children because his children's German school textbooks contained language and ideas that conflicted with his family's values. Full story...
