Parent’s Rights in Danger

^{This in just today:  Senator Barbara Boxer of California is hoping to strip parents of more of their rights over their children.  She is asking the Obama administration to ratify the U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child.  This treaty would ensure that the government has a say in how you parent your child, even to the point of allowing your children “to seek governmental review of every parental decision with which the child disagreed” (www.parentalrights.org).  This is government interference at its worst; an assault on our basic rights as parents.}

^{“This poses a serious threat both to parental rights and to U.S. sovereignty, as the UNCRC dictates not only that the federal government must intrude into the family sphere to an unprecedented degree, but also how the federal government is to monitor and govern the actions of our families.  Parental rights would be replaced by “the best interests of the child” as defined, ultimately, by an international committee of 18 people in Switzerland” (Parentalrights.org)}
