Please call your senator about UN CRPD

Why Does HSLDA Oppose the Treaty?

Promoting equal rights and protections for disabled persons around the world sounds like a great idea. But let’s take a closer look at what the treaty actually says and how it would impact the United States. Here are some of our most serious concerns.

The CRPD could threaten homeschooling rights and parental rights. It would surrender parents and caregivers’ decision-making ability on behalf of their disabled children to unelected and unaccountable UN bureaucrats. The CRPD would override existing state laws, seriously damaging states’ rights. The CRPD would surrender our nation’s sovereignty to unelected bureaucrats.

[CThomasFan]

According to the the Home School Legal Defense Association, there is a HIGH probability that the Senate will attempt to pass the UN compact on the Rights of Disabled Persons during the lame duck session. PLEASE call or write your state senator asking that they reject that treaty. It needs 60 votes to pass, and some republicans have already voted for it in the past.

HOMESCHOOL PING

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.

We’re members of HSLDA Congressional Action Program. We’ve personally lobbied the US Senate against CRPD.

I had to go into Harry Reid’s office to drop off position papers. I told the rest of our small group to remain outside as I would take one for the team.

[CThomasFan]

I would like to be on both lists...thanks!

[metmom]

Sure. You’re on.
