While I can appreciate Robert Knight bringing attention to the plight of the Romeike family, and his criticism of Germany's home-schooling ban ("The sound of tyranny," Commentary, Tuesday), his harsh characterization of the German school system is frankly a bit extreme.
Robert Knight's recent piece is a well-reasoned and articulate affirmation of the Boy Scouts' "right to their own moral standards" in the face of unrelenting attacks from proponents of evil ("Boy Scouts prevail after 11-year battle," Commentary, Jan. 15).

Robert Knight, senior fellow at the American Civil Rights Union and a columnist for The Washington Times, has written several books, including "Ten Truths About Socialism and Radical Rulers" (Coral Ridge Ministries, 2010).
