UN: Jail Parents Who Spank Their Children

UN: Jail Parents Who Spank Their Children

Under the guise of advancing what the United Nations characterizes as “human rights,” the UN “Human Rights Committee” released a report urging U.K. authorities to prosecute parents who smack or spank their children — even when used as a disciplinary tool. The UN report continued, advocating that the government launch a tax-funded propaganda campaign against corporal punishment and parents who choose to use it in disciplining their children, highlighting the alleged “harmful effects.” A broad list of other demands — more abortion, more UN agreements, and more censorship, among others — was also provided by the UN’s “human rights” bureaucracy in its report on the United Kingdom.

U.S. May Soon Stand Alone for Failing to Ratify U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child

Twenty-five years after ratification of the U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), Somalia and the South Sudan are taking steps to join 193 other countries around the world that have ratified the treaty. This is important news for children, as it provides a framework for nations -- even oppressive ones -- to at least acknowledge and recognize that children have special needs and should be provided the opportunity to, as UNICEF says, "develop their full potential, free from hunger and want, neglect and abuse."

Rick Santorum: Stop UN From Crushing Parental Rights

Once again the U.S. Senate is considering passing into law a very dangerous United Nations treaty that would threaten the tens of thousands of American families who care for disabled children.

Respect for the family threatened

Respect for the family threatened

Note: I don't know about you, but I think that the writer of this letter is partially full of shit, because the government has no respect for the rights and authority of parents.

American law has traditionally had a great deal of respect for parents' ability to make the best decisions for their children. This respect is fundamental to the American way of life, and to our belief in the family. We do not believe in omnipotent bureaucrats micro-managing our lives. We believe in diversity, liberty, and freedom from unreasonable government interference.
