HOME-SCHOOLING: U.N. treaty might weaken families
Michael Smith, president of the Home School Legal Defense Association (Courtesy of hslda.org) One of the issues American families could face this year is the ramifications from a treaty called the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC).
You may ask, "How could a treaty directly affect internal decision-making by American families?" We generally think of treaties as agreements affecting international relations between countries. The U.N., however, has initiated treaties that not only affect international relations, but also the domestic relations of member nations as well.
These treaties, sometimes called "conventions," require member nations that ratify the treaty to implement the requirements as binding law or rules. On Nov. 20, 1989, the U.N. adopted the CRC and submitted it for ratification to the member nations. It has been ratified by 193 nations - the United States is one of the few countries that has not ratified it.
The ratification process requires a two-thirds vote by the U.S. Senate. On Feb. 16, 1995, Madeleine Albright, the U.S. ambassador to the U.N., signed the CRC on behalf of the United States. The CRC, however, has never been sent to the Senate for ratification because there is insufficient support to pass it. Due to the recent election, however, there are rumblings from Capitol Hill that there will be an effort to seek ratification of the CRC during the next congressional cycle.

One of these days, the Americans still left in this country are going to get fed up and pay this rats’ nest a visit. America is a sovereign nation. We don’t need this crap from those losers at the Useless Nations.
Is anyone really surprised?
a package of 34 treaties, all of which were ratified by a show of hands — no recorded vote.

Homeschooling ping

I don't mean to be pessimistic, but what's the point of even intentionally having children if they are going to be turned into mindless liberal drones by the schools and the media? Homeschooling was the only method of teaching children the Christian and conservative way and that looks like it may not even be an option.
This is so disturbing on so many levels. I fear for my future grandchildren. I am past childbearing age, but have raised a reliable conservative son. I fear for his future and the future of his children.
When is enough going to be enough? When are conservatives going to fight back against this tide of insanity and marxism?
It’s long past time for the US to dump the UN. The UN has outlived its usefulness and has extended its reach into areas never intended for it.
I think a nice new headquarters in...say...Belgium would be nice.
And someone else can pay their bills.
The UN wants your children...globalism uber alles!
I don’t give a **it, I wouldn’t follow it anyway, they can’t enforce it, and it is an illigitimate law!
~isn’t is what I meant to say~
never,never,never,never,never,never,never,never,never,
never,never,never,never,never,never,never,never,never.
This is a hill I'm willing to die on.

Asa some from a Jewish background, may I suggest not waiting until too late to get proactive? Also, sooner or later, you have to decide at what point freedom is more important than anything, even life.
Had the German Jews not meekly submitted, they would either have been left alone or at least had the satisfaction of taking their enemies with them.
Make no mistake - both the HillaBeast and Obama are Saul Alinsky style Marxists. Regarding their political opponents, either most likely would give a “kill” command with pleasure if it could be justified.
Do remember that the use of the soap box and the ballot box, so far, has kept America’s citizenry from needing the cartridge box.
May it always so continue.
The Feds will impose it just like the IRS imposes the tax system. The will and spirit of most Americans has been irreparably broken I fear.
There are millions of Americans left. They are awakening and seeing what it going on. Never underestimate the power of 50 million patriotic angry Americans trying to save their heritage and country. They don't have to resort to violence. There are many ways to fight back. Take 50 million people and have them refuse to pay taxes, take their children out of public school, small businesses refuse to pay taxes withdraw all money from banks. Then the assh**es in DC would pay attention. They would have no choice. If it gets really bad, there is no other option unless you appease and lose this country forever. I fear we are way past getting results by writing letters to Congressmen. I pray to God that I'm wrong.

She is no better than zer0, just not quite as totally *red*
I doubt it. They're too few.
Scary! Treaties superceed the constitution so it shouldn’t be a surprise that marxist know that too.
