As the debate over parental involvement in education continues, a new UN report suggests more regulation needs to be placed on those opting to homeschool their children.
In the United Nations’ latest “Global education monitoring report” for “2021/2” titled “non-state actors in education: who chooses? who loses?” the global organization suggests that a stricter regulatory system needs to be implemented to ensure that there is uniformity in what children are taught, regardless of where or by whom they are educated.
According to the UN report, the presence of “non-state actors” in education, which refers primarily to educators in the private schooling sector but also mentions parents involved in homeschooling, promotes “inequity” and “privilege,” and therefore the solution is for governments to consolidate “all” education into a “single system.”
The UN claims that the rise in homeschooling rates is the result of “advocacy by a global conservative movement” and accuses homeschooling environments of “exacerbating gender imbalances” and negatively impacting the employment rates of “mothers but not fathers.”
Responding to these arguments, Michael Donnelly, senior counsel for the Home School Legal Defense Association, wrote in an in-depth analysis of the report that “There is something deeply flawed with an international body that views ‘workforce participation’ as the be-all and end-all of human flourishing, especially when the topic is actually the education of children...”

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.
This is actually a general homeschool ping list situation.
They are going after homeschoolers here, just like they tried with the infamous HR6.
I swore allegiance to the US, NOT the UN. Time to cut funding to UN and NATO so they can wither and die.
Intelligent children who become adults who can think for themselves are a clear and present danger to the global elites.
They want obedient serfs.
Because collectivist education is doing such a great job.
Workforce participation rate and more mothers working outside the home has long been Ivanka’s pet cause.I remember when stay-at-home moms were the rule, not the exception. I’m old.Ivanka is a moron.Elon Musk asserts that the population is peaking, and that reduction in the population is a bad thing. He doesn’t say exactly how to ameliorate that, tho . . . at least AFAIK.
Likewise he asserts that AI eliminating jobs wholesale won’t be a problem, because it will create unprecedented abundance. I agree with the abundance point, but that doesn’t answer the problem of repurposing all those people who now justify their existence by the fact that they usefully drive trucks.
And make work is no answer. Artificial “work” is ersatz value - and idle hands can be a real problem. We are in danger of a real, global https://www.ebay.com/p/5038588883 “Shmoo" problem.
Musk has said we need more babies. But he’s a Deep Stater who is also pushing his NeuroLink dystopia, so I don’t take anything he says at face value.
The un needs to go the way of the league of nations and then never be replaced.
More liberty, less control. More control, less liberty. I am afraid that it is not just the globalists, but the local little tyrants who play for control. The words of the Declaration of Independence ring true across the centuries. Best wishes, Stay free.
Ivanka seems perfectly matched in her marriage:

I think my favorite line is this, from the second page of Jared’s bio in his pitch deck, where he cites the special citation he received from Trump.
