Down with the UN.

[King Prout]

U.N. treaty conferring rights to children could make homeschooling illegal in the U.S. even though the Senate has not ratified it, a homeschooling association warns.

and how many battalions does the UN command on US soil?

Farris also suggested Congress could pass a constitutional amendment stating explicitly that no provision of any international agreement can supersede the constitutional rights of an American citizen.

DO IT NOW

He pointed out two such amendments have been proposed in Congress.

DO IT NOW

Finally, he says specific threats to parental rights can be solved by "putting a clear parents' rights amendment into the black and white text of the United States Constitution."

DO IT NOW

write you congresscritters and senators NOW

[King Prout]

seems to me the Constitution already explicitly addresses this:

ARTICLE IV
...
Section 3....

2. The Congress shall have power to dispose of and make all needful rules and regulations respecting the territory or other property belonging to the United States; and nothing in this constitution shall be so construed as to prejudice any claims of the United States, or of any particular state.

Section 4. Republican form of government guaranteed. Each State to be protected.

The United States shall guarantee to every state in this union, a republican form of government, and shall protect each of them against invasion; and on application of the legislature, or of the executive (when the legislature cannot be convened), against domestic violence.
...
...
ARTICLE VI
...
2. This constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, any thing in the constitution or laws of any state to the contrary notwithstanding.

The last thing the UN wants is a generation of kids who can think for themselves.

bump until tomorrow

[Lancey Howard]

Another one of those crazy "UN threatens to...." threads?
These silly scare-tactic campaigns only end up hurting the credibility of those raising the alarm.

1. The UN is not going to impose a tax on Americans
2. The UN is not going to ban guns in America
3. The UN is not going to make homeschooling in America illegal

The UN is a foul broken toilet and it is overflowing with turds.
The UN couldn't successfully run a parking garage.

I'm sick of our country sucking up to these maggots! And I'm tired of my tax dollars paying for these crooked jerks! The politicians are too spineless to be outraged at this lastest attack.

Don't worry about it.  If your child is already attending public school (a new-world communist "one world" indoctrination center) they already comply with the UN mandates.

You need to insure that your public school also has placed fencing around the school and armed guards posted to keep the mind-numbed and brain-washed children in the compound until full indoctrination for the day has been performed.

One word of warning, be careful of what you say at home because your child may be interrogated at the indoctrination center about their parents who may be in violation of the center's thought rules.

Now, if you have home schooled children, it's only a matter of time before they come to get you.  You too, will be living in 1984 and learning the truth from the Ministry of Truth, learning doublespeak and newspeak just like the UN and the indoctrinators teach.

[Millicent_Hornswaggle]

How in the world do children know what's in their best interest? Have these people ever seen real children? Because a real child has no real concept of what is in his or her best interest. Their small minds revolve around the concept of what feels or tastes good. These people are idiots and no one is going to tell me I can't raise my own children. That is precisely why I chose to homeschool. It's my job to raise my children, not some moron who thinks they know better, but don't actually have children.

KEEP IT IN THE BLACK BABY BLUE.

The HSLDA produced a report in 1993 showing that under Article 13, parents could be subject to prosecution for any attempt to prevent their children from interacting with material they deem unacceptable.

Golly, I didn't know HSLDA had been trotting this scare tactic out for this long!! Their numbers must be down, usually they just try tampering with state laws to upset settled legal situations.

[Larousse2]

There is a major Supremem Court Decision that I think goes back to 1920's that says parents have the right(s)to determine the upbringing of their children. I can't remember it right now, but it has been cited as a Precedent in many cases.

One of the goals of the nwo is the cloning of the american mind through the RED agenda of U. S. public schools: there are NO ABSOLUTES; foreign invasion over soverignity; multiculturism at all costs---including any solid, substantive academic learning.

Cultural anthropology is one of my major interests. During my own personal research efforts I have consistently found that countries with homeogenous populations have the highest literacy rates in the world. Most countries' literacy rates can be located in CIA factbooks.

It has been abundantly clear to me for years upon years that the goal is to mold the minds of children in public schools; a solid education is ancillary.

1. I'm sure that the teacher's unions are ecstatic at the prospect of preventing parents from escaping Heather's Two Mommies.
2. Of course the UN has no problem with teaching children to hate while neglecting any education that would result in marketable skils *cough* Madrasas *cough* HAMAS-run schools *cough*

[DaGman]

This is the most ridiculous thing I've seen this week. I can't get past the first sentence. I don't care to read the rest.
