This could backfire in some ways. There are kids I know who WANT to be homeschooled and their parents won't. What happens in those cases? What about homeschooled kids who want to continue to be homeschooled? I haven't run across a whole lot of kids who really want to go to public school anyway. Most homeschool kids I know like it.

Well---looks like we've got our work cut out for us. After we clean up the law schools, we must tackle the education schools, the medical schools, the journalism schools, etc etc.
Good thing there's a lot of us to get all this done--LOL!
Hear, Hear!
ping - I'm feeling ill.
The WHO, through the UN wants to take our supplements and now they want to take your rights as parents, too. What's next?
I actually know of some, but that's for another thread. This would be pretty stupid--international law for homeschooling???? HUH??? I support not having government at all in homeschooling--regulations, money, whatever.
But no matter what happens, parents should maintain their right to raise their child as they see fit. I know my parents would have no matter what the circumstances. They knew they had that choice from the start.
Since when did International Law have authority inside the borders of a sovereign country?
the convention may still be binding on citizens because of activist judges.Another silver lining will be the identification and removal from the bench of activist judges. The Congress has to ratify treaties, not judges, and any judge who attempts that has to go.
Whenever I hear about the UN's "Rights of the Child", I think of this poem. You may have seen it before. Enjoy! :-)
ROTFLOL!!!!!! I hadn't seen that before, but it's good.
Kids have *rights*? Sure, move out, get your own apartment, if anyone would rent to a kid. Do your own shopping, cooking, laundry. Let them support themselves and see how far the money goes.
It reminds me of the times my kids have said to me "I can't wait till I'm grown up and can do what I want to." If they only knew.
HA!
I'll get it started :-)

Interesting quote -- where can I see the context? Do you have a link, or a citation? Can I see it online?
Alexander Zinoviev, "Yawning Heights", at the beginning - page 1 or 2, IIRC. Amazon or Alibris would have it, and I am not sure you could see it online.
Identify, impeach, and remove for cause every single federal judge and Associate Justice who agrees with that judge.
Binding U.S. citizens with extraneous law "just because I said so" is totally unconstitutional and an abuse of both power and office. If it isn't judicial misconduct to hand down something like that, then I don't know what is, other than getting drunk and following someone into the ladies' room.
Thanks.
bump for later reading.
