Greetings ABQ homeschoolers and beyond  

A local homeschool family e-mailed this news to us and we wanted the same article to be available to you.

http://www.hslda.org/docs/news/washingtontimes/20091120.asp
Quoted Text
AT THE BOTTOM OF THE ARTICLE, YOU'LL READ:   The international committee in Geneva, in reviewing the laws of practice of countries that have ratified the CRC, has expressed its concern that parents could homeschool without the view of the child being considered; that parents could remove their children from sex-education classes without the view of the child being considered; that parents were legally permitted to use corporal punishment; and that children didn’t have access to reproductive health information without parental knowledge.

The bottom line is the CRC would drastically weaken the United States’ sovereignty over family life, which would have a substantial impact on every American family. For more information on the U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child, visit http://www.parentalrights.org/learn.

What about the rights of the kids who want to be homeschooled but whose parents insist they attend public school?
