Just another reason to get the United States out of the UN and the UN out of the United States.

[wagglebee]

Homeschool Ping.

[wagglebee]

UN Ping

I don't buy this ... our Constitution trumps any U.N. treaty.

[wagglebee]

I don't buy this ... our Constitution trumps any U.N. treaty.

I think that that interpretation may largely depend on who is in the White House and who controls Congress.

[EagleUSA]

That's because if the basis for the legal arguments being made by Belgian prosecutors ever would be accepted in – or imposed upon -- the United States, that fact would make the U.N. protocol equal to the Constitution.

Screw the U.N., the Belgian socialists. Our Constitution belongs to America, and applies to America, and thank God there is no pandering, appeasing Marxist in the White House otherwise the criminal reprobates of the U.N. would be running our country.

home school=education

public school=indoctrination

[wagglebee]

Yep!

[EagleUSA]

I think that that interpretation may largely depend on who is in the White House and who controls Congress.

True, and my above comment supports that reality. We are having enough problems with the SCOTUS right NOW! -- in regards to UPHOLDING OUR CONSTITUTION and keeping non-USA forces from influencing SCOTUS decisions -- it is liberal insanity.

[FarmerW]

I think they are playing fast and loose with the Constitution and what it actually says.
I read it to mean that the Constitution, federal law and federal treaties overrule state law. I am sure a legal mind can correct me and enlighten us.


"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." U.S. Const. art. VI, Paragraph 2

[TheDon]

Separation of school and state BUMP!

[wagglebee]

I think the White House is most important, because it is probably the Attorney General would be the one who brings the case to SCOTUS and the AG is appointed by the President.

[nmh]

Yeah ... but still WND doesn't exactly have a stellar reputation. They tend to take the hysterical extreme route.

[wagglebee]

You're right, I tend to take their articles with a grain of salt.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

All the President has to do to get the US out of the filthy UN is to issue an Executive Order!

[HannagansBride]

You could see this coming years ago. At that time, almost noone GAS about it even as the Clintons were pushing it.

I hate to say "I told you so" but,

I told you so.

He was told that the Belgian authorities are of the opinion that, as a homeschooler, he has not adequately educated his children and, hence, is neglecting his duty as a parent, which is a criminal offense...

Too bad.
If he had only taken the extra time to instruct his children on the proper use of dental-dams and how to put a condom on a cucumber, the authorities would have left him alone.

[tpaine]

The U.S. Constitution's Supremacy Clause requires that "all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land," the HSLDA said.

What they leave unsaid is:

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; ----

Only treaties made in "pursuance" of the goals [the legitimate authority] of the Constitution are valid. We have never given our legislators the authority to make treaties or laws that subvert our freedoms.


The HSLDA is hyping the issue.

[SoftballMominVA]

Isn't it illegal to homeschool in many countries in Europe? I know it is in Germany and now Belgium too? What about private schooling? Is that allowed? or are private schools simply an extension of government schools?

[sgtbono2002]

The UN has always been useless. Now its getting to be a threat to our Sovereignty.
