The United Nations and its “human rights” bureaucracy are unhappy with American education — especially President Trump’s policies and proposals.
Instead of local or parental control, the UN is pushing for radical changes: more federal power, less educational choice, government oversight of private schools, and the promotion of controversial ideological content — all at taxpayer expense. It also wants education globally redefined as a UN-backed “human right.”
The UN’s latest attack on U.S. education, parental rights, state and national sovereignty, and the Constitution came in the form of an investigation and “country report” to the UN’s dictator-dominated “Human Rights Council.” The outfit, which regularly praises mass-murdering regimes while condemning Western nations, frequently targets the God-given rights of Americans enshrined in the U.S. Constitution.
Among other demands on education, the United States needs more federal involvement in and oversight of government and private schools, not less, argued the senior UN official in her report last month following an in-depth investigation of U.S. education policy.
Blasting Trump’s efforts to shut down or at least reduce the power of the U.S. Department of Education, the UN bureaucrat claimed they would hurt low-income students, weaken “civil rights,” disrupt “higher learning,” and produce other alleged horrors.
“The loss of federal oversight could deepen inequities, harm marginalized students and undermine social mobility,” argued UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Education Farida Shaheed, the radical Pakistani activist who investigated the United States.
The final report does acknowledge that under the U.S. Constitution’s Tenth Amendment, education is not a federal responsibility. However, it frames that as a problem. And it then proceeds to claim that the U.S. government is obligated under “international law” to impose the UN’s agenda on education...

Dear U.N.,
For 68years, I have watched you.
Hope sit on your thumb.
UN is pushing for radical changes: more federal power, less educational choice, government oversight of private schools, and the promotion of controversial ideological content.
Well there the problemin the first place let parents and states decide it’s education not how to be programed.
It takes courage and character to stay in the UN to apply vetos to UN idiocy and not constantly describe to them their lack of moral principles. Minimal funds. Maximum disruption.
Their luck has held for 70 years now but coincidentally that is just about how long the USSR lasted. About 74 years in that case.
Not by much. From what countries do you think the leaders of the teachers’ unions get their ideas? Certainly not from the founding fathers of the USA, the Declaration of Independence, the Federalist Papers etc.
.
NO, not happening, no world govt.
Let them sort out education in Afghanistan and Yemen, esp for girls and women….then get back to us
Evict the UN from NYC and stop paying UN dues.
We Christians know that Trump is just holding back the tide, and that one day, the UN and those of its ilk will have their own way. Jesus said that the end times will be worse than anything that has ever happened on this earth. Call on the Name of the LORD now, while he may be found. We do not know how long we have before He tells Jesus, “Come bring my people home”.
the U.S. government is obligated under “international law” to impose the UN’s agenda on education

SAYS WHO ?
NO, WE ARENT....
.BULLIES CAN POUND SAND....HAAAAWK..SPIT.
2 or 3 times just to be sure.
They should try to bring in some blue-helmet third-world enforcers.
Some low-cost dynamic target practice would be nice.
And it then proceeds to claim that the U.S. government is obligated under “international law” to impose the UN’s agenda on education...
Me no tinka so...UN can pound sand.
We need to be done with them and they need to leave. Set up in Brussels with the rest of the weenies.
Only in case someone has forget to say it: Get the U.N. out of the U.S. and get the U.S. out of the U.N.....and for extra measure, get the U.S. out of N.A.T.O..
Get the US out of the UN, and get the UN out of the US.
“the UN is pushing for radical changes: more federal power, less educational choice, government oversight of private schools, and the promotion of controversial ideological content — all at taxpayer expense.”
The UN aka United Nimdrods
The time has come for separation of school and state.
Defund the UN.
