According to a new press release from the Home School Legal Defense Association (HSLDA), on the morning of March 3, 2014, the United States Supreme Court denied review in the appeal of Uwe and Hannelore Romeike.

Michael Farris, Chairman of the HSLDA and lead counsel for the Romeikes in the appellate courts, said, "While this is the end of the line for normal legal appeals, we are not giving up."

Prior to today's denial, the Supreme Court had ordered the United States Solicitor General to respond to the Romeike's petition. The case had also been carried forward for one week on the Court's conference schedule—normally a sign of some interest in the case by the Court.

Describing HSLDA's plans for the Romeikes, Farris said, "We will pursue changes to the asylum law in this country to insure that religious freedom is once again vigorously protected in our policy. I am just glad that the Pilgrims did not face this anti-religious policy when they landed at Plymouth Rock.

"After all, the Pilgrims left England to find religious freedom, but they left Holland to find a place that was both safe for their children and which provided religious freedom," Farris noted. "These are the very values which our nation today has decided to abandon."
