Like I wrote, ALL nationalities can sign this petition as per German law, so you can help, too. In case of language problems, you can use google translate, but it is pretty obvious to fill in.

I missed that line somehow! I just never imagined the German gov't would give a poot what some Aussie mama had to say I'll give it a shot!

As per Grundgesetz Artikel 17

translated with google

ConstitutionI. The Fundamental Rights (Articles 1 - 19 )

Article 17

Everyone has the right to apply individually or in community with others and with written requests or complaints to the competent authorities and to the people's representatives.

I would not have thought that myself, but since I learned about this, I thought I need to ask for help from the big mothering community, from US unschoolers and homeschoolers.
