Children's Rights - Take Back The Court

Federal programs like Medicaid are not laws, but contracts between the federal government and the states. In Westside Mothers v Haveman, Judge Richard Cleland ruled that individual beneficiaries have no right to access the court to protect their guaranteed services.

This clip is part of a video made by award-winning documentarian Stanley Nelson, which exposes the negative consequences of a federal judiciary that is increasingly opposed to civil rights protections. Mr. Nelson puts a human face on what has come to be known as the "rollback" of civil rights. The full film is 22 minutes and is an excellent teaching tool for those interested in educating friends, family, and neighbors about these issues.
