A United Nations human rights treaty that could prohibit children from being spanked or homeschooled, ban youngsters from facing the death penalty and forbid parents from deciding their families' religion is on America's doorstep, a legal expert warns.
Michael Farris of Purcellville, Va., is president of ParentalRights.org, chairman of the Home School Legal Defense Association and chancellor of Patrick Henry College. He told WND that under the U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child, or CRC, every decision a parent makes can be reviewed by the government to determine whether it is in the child's best interest.
"It's definitely on our doorstep," he said. "The left wants to make the Obama-Clinton era permanent. Treaties are a way to make it as permanent as stuff gets. It is very difficult to extract yourself from a treaty once you begin it. If they can put all of their left-wing socialist policies into treaty form, we're stuck with it even if they lose the next election."
The 1990s-era document was ratified quickly by 193 nations worldwide, but not the United States or Somalia. In Somalia, there was then no recognized government to do the formal recognition, and in the United States there's been opposition to its power. Countries that ratify the treaty are bound to it by international law.
Although signed by Madeleine Albright, U.S. ambassador to the U.N., on Feb. 16, 1995, the U.S. Senate never ratified the treaty, largely because of conservatives' efforts to point out it would create that list of rights which primarily would be enforced against parents.

I've been telling everyone that this administration wants to subordinate America to the UN and this is a step in that direction. Tell everyone you know, write, phone, and e-mail every member of the Senate if you oppose this Convention on the Rights of Children. We need to stop it now.

What most idiots don’t realize is that 60% of the members of the UN are NOT democracies.
Who’s going to block parents from taking their babies to church for Baptism?
We should have kicked the U.N. out of the U.S. when we had the chance...right after 9/11. We could have made up some excuse about their safety, moved them to some island off the coast of Africa, or Alcatraz and prayed for a tsunami.
The harpies of Washington are going to destroy us.
Or we could kick them out because they are evil and stand against our ideals and way of life.
“If they can put all of their left-wing socialist policies into treaty form, we’re stuck with it even if they lose the next election.”
Nope. Treaties can be abrogated.
“I find on occasion the wnd stories get a little bit over the top in their explanations.”
True — they tend to get a bit breathless at times. Case in point, Jerome Corsi’s “revelations” about Obama’s activities in Kenya.
It is interesting that one of the first things evil Voldemort (the dark lord) did in the Harry Potter series after ascending to power was to outlaw homeschooling. And now we see the same effort to diminish parental rights with the incompetents who are now in place to do mischief to our once-great nation.
I’m just sayin’. . .sometimes fiction is just fiction, sometimes it’s allegory or prophesy.
What far too many liberals fail to realize is that the strength of a nation depends not on the strength of its individual citizens but, rather, on the strength of its families. Too many of the liberal efforts here and abroad focus on individual rights—rights of the children, rights of the women, rights of the workers—and in the process are destroying the very foundation of their society. Families are roots, the reason to build and maintain homes and cities, the reason to care about schools, about long-term environmental issues, about preserving the land. It’s all about the next generation, and the next generation, and the next generation. Atomize your families and you get people who are focused solely on the here-and-now, on “me first” and so forth, which, incidentally, described a whole lot of society today.
The whole idea that the majority of people will willingly sacrifice for some ephemeral, anonymous next generation is nonsense and childless Europeans demanding more and more unsustainable benefits for themselves, regardless of the consequences for someone else’s children, proves it. People sacrifice for their children, their grandchildren, not someone else’s. Look even at how so many Americans seem willing to saddle the next generations) with massive debt just so they can sell that huse they invested in at a good profit.
Rant off. ):o{
Obama's Youth Corps?
Bring it on.
Bullshiite.
The same people who block Christians from protesting at abortion clinics by imposing ridiculous restrictions on their right to protest, and the same people who make it difficult for parents to home school their children by, again, imposing stringent, often impossible requirements on parents. This would also be the same people who kidnap children from parents who are charged with, (often falsely), 'crimes' of neglect, etc. I guess it's also the same people who force our children to get "educated" in homosexuality in kindergarten. It would be those folks who run and enforce the United Marxist Nanny States of America.
Of course they'll never succeed in eliminating Christianity no matter how concentrated their efforts may be, all they've ever been able to do is drive it underground, where it tends to thrive and grow more than ever. Those times are right around the corner for Americans, imho. In many ways they are already here, but the dumbded down sheeple won't feel the squeeze until it gets tighter. By then it's usually too late and it takes a generation or two to restore freedom. This is what happens when the sheeple take their freedoms for granted.
A-friggin-men!
Get the UN out of the US and the US out of the UN!

Amazing.
