Is the U.S. Senate About To Take Your Kids Away and Give Them To the Federal Government?


This is a disturbing look at some legislation currently at the U.S. Senate that plays ball with the insidious "U.N Convention on the Rights of the Child."

From the article at OneNewsNow:


If the contract is enforced, the government would have the right to intercede or supersede if officials believe the parents are doing something that is not in the best interest of the child. An example of this comes from Germany, where the government has passed laws that ban parents from homeschooling their children."I didn't know that it was this insidious, and at the same time, this overwhelming," Stein laments. "It goes over everything -- what you teach them, what you do with them [and] how they're reared."The CMA spokesman predicts this will change society from the bottom up. For instance, a 16-year-old girl in Great Britain asked her parents to let her boyfriend move in and share her bedroom. When the parents said no, the teen filed suit and won.


So there you have it, America - we now sit on the precipice that may just conclude that the misfits of the United Nations, those representatives of countries where they can't even process their human waste, are possibly going to spread to us the idea that the government has the final decision on how your children are raised, what they can do and what they should be exposed to.

The fact that this "legislation" would even be brought up at the U.S. Senate is absurdity.



Gov't = caretaker, parent = babysitter


The Senate is expected to take up the U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child.



The effort is a dangerous treaty for the family, according to pediatrician Rosemary Stein of Burlington, North Carolina, and a spokesperson for the Christian Medical Association (CMA).

"It takes away the parents' rights to rear their child and gives it to the government," she explains. "The government becomes the caretaker and the guardian, and the parent becomes the babysitter. Another way to define it would be 'the government takeover of our children.'"

If the contract is enforced, the government would have the right to intercede or supersede if officials believe the parents are doing something that is not in the best interest of the child. An example of this comes from Germany, where the government has passed laws that ban parents from homeschooling their children.

It is not known when the U.S. Senate will try to ratify the treaty, so Dr. Stein says people need to start contacting their senators to voice their views.

This is disturbing.

Look at what the Soviet school system wrought to comprehend what could be in store. Stop this plan. And by the way, break up the teacher union death grip on education.

There are some senators already working to prevent this. SR 519 is a senate resolution that opposes the CRC and urges Obama NOT to submit it to the senate for its advice and consent. See who sponsors it (and how to call your senators to join them) at parentalrights.org/Status. Also, HJ Res 42 and SJ Res 16 offer a Parental Rights Amendment that would end this threat from foreign law forever. This is also covered at ParentalRights.org.
