According to the Christian Legal Center, a German couple was jailed after withdrawing their children from a mandatory sexual education class.
“Heinrich and Irene Wiens, who are actively involved in the Christian Baptist Church, did not allow their children to attend an interactive play entitled Mein Köper Gehört Mir (“My Body Is Mine") and four days of mandatory sex education classes; because they felt that the material would be inappropriate for their children. Instead, the couple taught their children at home in accordance with their own Christian values on sexuality whilst the lessons were being conducted.
The couple were fined 2,340 Euros for withdrawing their children from the classes but refused to pay the fine on legal and moral grounds. They were then sentenced to six weeks imprisonment each.”
