“Parents have the right and authority to make decisions regarding their children’s education without government interference,” said ADF Legal Counsel Roger Kiska, who is based in Europe. “A government trying to create a cookie-cutter child in its own image should not be allowed to violate this basic and fundamental human right. The refusal of Swedish authorities to respect that right has left us no choice but to take this case to the European Court of Human Rights.”

ADF Legal Counsel Roger Kiska said: “Parents have the right and authority to make decisions regarding their children’s education without Government interference.”

He added: “This is about a socialist Government trying to create a cookie-cutter child in its own image.

“Without help, the parents in these cases are really powerless since the system is so one-sided.”

HSLDA attorney Mike Donnelly said: “It’s one of the most disgraceful abuses of power we have ever witnessed.”

Mr Donnelly added: “We have heard that other home-schooling families in Sweden are having more difficulty with local officials.

“We fear that all home-schooling families in that country are at risk.”
