Here is the latest news on our friends the Nunes family.

MINAS GERAIS, BRAZIL, August 29, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) – In a surprise victory against government officials who sought to prosecute a homeschooling family for refusing to participate in the public school system, David and Jonatas Nunes have passed tests proving a high level of knowledge in a variety of subjects, including history, the natural sciences, the arts, sports, computing, and mathematics.

The tests given to the Nunes children were so difficult that public school teachers admitted that they could not pass them. The two boys, aged 14 and 15, had only one week to study for several of the tests, which were announced only a week in advance.

The exams were ordered by a local court in an attempt to determine if the Nunes had committed the crime of “intellectual abandonment”, which could have resulted in a heavy fine, and possibly jail time for the two parents, as well as loss of custody of their three children.
