The United Kingdom has decided that Christians are not acceptable as foster or adoptive parents and that Christian beliefs are harmful to children and violate a child’s international human rights.
Since when are personal beliefs a reason to deny children a home and a family? If religion, of all things, violates child rights, what will be next?
Such problems are built in to the United Nation’s Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), and would plague the United States if we ratify that treaty.
You know, we’ve been kicking these ideas around for about forty years.
Happily, I can say, a resolution opposing ratification of the CRC will appear in the U.S. Senate probably next week. Still, only the Parental Rights Amendment can end the threat of ratification permanently.
The U.S. Supreme Court is considering whether a child has the right to be protected from seizure and interrogation without a warrant, emergency circumstances, or parental consent.

Please check these facts and pass them on. Thanks.
There probably won’t be a final say. Children and child-rearing are battlefields in the culture war.
I hate to point you in yet another direction but, this group does a lot for parental rights…

C.H. Thanks for this reminder! Actually, one of the lawyers for Home School Legal Defense Association heads the parental rights petition group, so it really is the same direction! Still, we all should know, and I should have made it clear, that HSLDA is very much behind this petition.
Thanks for helping me think!
