The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child

The leadership of our Congress has vowed to sign a treaty to pass the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. If they succeed, all of the state specific legislation that protects the rights of parents to control the upbringing and education of their children will be overridden by whatever a committee of UN bureaucrats thinks is appropriate. The consequences are severe, from outlawing of homeschooling, to mandatory sex education and much more. Please watch this video and pass it along to others. We are still in time to stop this treaty.

Your interpretations of the UN Convention is incorrect and misguided. Most countries ratify with conditions that apply specifically to their country. This is an injustice of misinterpretation of this convention -- and the damage it is doing to children cannot be measured.

[seville1978]

@AFIAFC What damage exactly is it doing to American children? (The video is about the US ratifying the UNCRC).

[jam31688]

USA doesn't want to sign on because it does not want to have to answer to the abuses it has inflicted on children around the world. Children in Iraq are not collateral damage.

US also neglects a huge percentage of its own child population, lets children die if they can't afford medication, withholds legal rights from minors who it associates with terrorism (while withholding evidence from the public and the accused), and has not addressed the increasing systematic neglect of racial children

[seville1978]

@jam31688 Signing the UNCRC would not make the US responsible for war damage in Iraq in a more significant way than it is now. No child dies in America due to lack of medicine, and we are all Americans, there is no such thing as racial children. Please do a little research before you write another comment!

@DavidH373 Your comments are truly sad. You must be one of those mental Liberals that try to justify "the means to an end" or some B.S. like Liberals always do. Its unbelievable how people with these twisted ways of thinking can be so anti-America- when the MAJORITY of us can clearly see what's going on. And it AINT CONSTITUTIONAL!! Our very FREEDOMS AND LIBERTIES are in dire jeopardy when our sovereignty is finally STRIPPED completely!

Global UN libtards will destroy the US unless something is done. Comment at 2:49-No little girl, it would appear that we are no longer a nation of laws. Lord help us!

[TheMoleMan95]

This video is just one big lie. None of these things happen the way that these people are describing.

[Clammypollack]

ALL Americans should oppose this treaty. I'm sure it is helpful in other parts of the world where children do not enjoy the rights and protections they presently have in the US. We have laws, courts and mandatory reporting of abuse/neglect by various professionals in the US. All of this will be pushed aside by the UN and foreign sentiments of what proper child rearing is if we allow this treaty to be ratified. Remember, any ratified treaty becomes the supreme law of the land.

The age of consent in the Netherlands is 16 not 12. You are a moron. No wonder the rest of the world think you guys are idiots.

[HomeworkRoom]

this is fucking psychotic.

[Bozewani]

THese children are so brainwashed and recruited into a movement by domestic Hitlers whom they hardly understand.

[DavidH373]

First of all, Russia was Communist and a dictatorship. Socialism is not defined as requiring a dictator. Also, in a proper socialism there wouldn't be a monetary system, there would be a reward system. As far as the comments on Welfare, and Business, I don't know how they have any relevance in our debate on socialism, as welfare is part of a democratic system currently, and it is logical fallacy to say that a small scale implementation of something would work the same as the full.

[DavidH373]

@minnesotastategop Umm... no, because as I said I'm not having biological children. I'm getting snipped up down there a.s.a.p. The whole "M*%$er F***er thing was uncalled for.

[minnesotastategop]

@DavidH373 (continued)conference all while saying nothing to condemn a representative from Iran who openly denied it happened. Add to this, they put Libya, Sudan, onthe human rights panel, both countries totalitarian the later a genocidal Muslim dictatorship that has killed millions since the 80s. I recommend in addition to looking up UN watch, you research Agenda 21, the Venus project, and the small arms treaty.

[minnesotastategop]

@DavidH373 You don't? So you were living in a cave when the Berlin wall fell and socialism went kaput in Russia? It never occured to you that taking profits from small businesses might cause layoffs and pay cuts and that welfare money is used to subsidize crime and drug alcohol addictions?

The UN is a joke. They recently condemned the Karen tribe in Burma as terrorists for trying to overthrow their dictatorship, United nations watch was almost banned for condemning Iran's holocaust denial

[whoo689]

I'm pretty sure the U.S. has ratified at least ONE of these major "conventions" or "declarations" you conservatives so hate. Yet we HAVE NOT gone down this spiraling gov't abyss or "liberal abyss" where gov't takes everyone kid's away, forces everyone to radical feminists, etc. THAT'S NOT HOW THESE TREATIES WORK! The treaties are steps TOWARDS getting their ultimate goals, not binding contracts that force nations to be at the whims of small committees of UN bureaucrats. This is such a lie.
