The Convention on the Rights of the Child, an international treaty commonly referred to as CRC, is one of the greatest threats to parental rights our country has ever witnessed. Fasten your seatbelts for the fight for ratification. The CRC’s devastating impact on American children and their families can be seen easily in the text of the treaty and its application in both foreign states and in recent U.S. court decisions. Do not be misled by the arguments of American legislators, legal scholars and transnationalists who say U.S. ratification of the CRC would prove our commitment to the protection of the world’s children and their rights to the international community. The CRC is in no way a harmless treaty; it is an instrument used by transnationalists for widespread social change, beginning right here in our own country. Similar to the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) treaty, U.S. ratification will in no way provide the children of the world with any additional forms of protections they don’t already enjoy under United States law, just as CEDAW affords women no rights beyond what they currently enjoy under U.S. law.

Homeschooling is one of the primary targets of this treaty.
We are approaching the worst period in the entire history of mankind. It can’t be stopped, avoided, or escaped. All children will be born into a hell with no chance of respite.
Do one of two things:
1. Never let your kids out of your sight so that the blue helmets can’t steal them, brainwash them, corrupt them, and milk them like a resource.
2. Don’t ever start a family.

When my child was being raised I gave him all rights that a child could have. He had the absolutely FREE right to do anything I told him to do! He had the right to experience a “whuppin” for violating that right.
The most remarkable thing was that he grew up into a healthy, normal, and most importantly...masculine male.
As a child I was beaten severely but I never transposed that to my son. All punishment was measured and weighted by the offense committed.
This treaty threatens homeschooling, and is likely of interest to those on the "Another Reason to Homeschool" ping list.
Committee on the Rights of the Child has taken it upon themselves to issue rulings, based on their interpretation of the CRC, on a wide array of issues and topics including - but not limited to - sex education, home schooling, children’s right to privacy from their parents, abortion and parental consent laws, access to contraceptives and contraceptive medication, religious teaching, day care vs. parents raising children at home and the death penalty for juveniles.
The report claimed that government officials should have the right to interview homeschooled children without a parent present and that the government should have a larger role in the curriculum selection for homeschooled children.In February 2008, a California court declared that “parents do not have a constitutional right to home school their children,” unless they are certified by the state to teach.
This ruling used the CRC as a guiding principle and failed to take into account established U.S. court precedent. The California decision ignored the 1972 Supreme Court decision in Wisconsin v Yoder and its 2000 ruling in Troxel v Granville, which guaranteed parents the fundamental right to direct the upbringing and education of their children. The danger that American homeschooling families face from the CRC principles will become the supreme law of the land, as stipulated in Article VI of the Constitution, if the Senate should ratify it.
President George W. Bush chose not to push for Senate ratification, as he fully recognized the threat that the CRC presented to American sovereignty.
However there has been a surge in the push for the United States to ratify the CRC since Obama took office.
BUSH!!! If only he had pushed it through his rubber stamp, far right-wing CONgre$$ we wouldn't be seeing this play out today.
You got that right!
Ratification of this treaty would further weaken American sovereignty, however, as the CRC treaty would become the supreme law of the land under Article VI of our Constitution.
This foreign treaty is the only tool available to them to force the United States to accept their deepest legislative desires. These desires include ...
...the dismantling of our current homeschooling system in the United States;
ping to post 2 & 6
The Committee on the Rights of the Child is completely aware of Article VI of the United States Constitution and that the CRC will become the supreme law of the land if ratified.
Click the link and read the entire article. This thing is terrifying, especially in light of the "goals" that are now well known.
11. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces.
16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.
29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.
40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.
41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.
It’s already been distroyed through government welfare programs, DV laws and family court.
The homeschooling chickens are coming home to roost.
THIS is why it is important to fight liberalism in the public schools. When you abandon the schools to the “progressives,” you allow them to indoctrinate future voters unopposed.
Now there’s a UN resolution coming down the pike that will be passed by the representatives the public school students have elected.
And you have no one to blame but YOURSELVES, because you abandoned the fight and cowered in your homes, all the while lambasting the rest of us who had the courage to fight.
You’re getting what you deserve. Thanks for nothing.
I’ll ping both lists.
This ping list is for articles of interest to homeschoolers. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping List. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added or removed from either list, or both.
The keyword for the FREE REPUBLIC HOMESCHOOLERS’ FORUM is frhf.

Next step in the attempted murder of the family.
Or have as many kids as we can, raise them right, teach them to shoot straight and vote/run/participate in the political process and take our country back by demographics.
Sorry, FRiend, but a strong offense suits Americans better than turtling up like a European.
Look to the Cosmic Battle.
Soothesayer doesn’t believe in it, ironically.
The family is the main vehicle of perpetuating the knowledge of God, and it is no wonder that Satan and his earthly minions have it as their primary target.
I am just happy to be on the victorious side. ;-]
