    FYI: This resolution seems to be a fail safe to restore the parents right to discipline their children. So many children are reporting their parents to the authorities not only for corporal punishment but for grounding or ‘timeouts’ or any such disciplinary action. And the children are winning these cases! The amendment also (hopefully) protects parents rights in the likely event that the U.S. ratifies the U.N. Convention On The Rights Of The Child. This international treaty prohibits any disciplinary action and reduces the parent role to guide and advise, but leaving the child the right to do as he or she wishes and unbelievably the only 2 countries not to sign this are the U.S. and Somalia. Amazing! For more information in favor of this amendment you can visit www.parentalrights.org

    It is exactly for the U.N. Resolution. Clinton and Barbara Boxer are on board w/ this resolution. every member of the U.N. has signed this resolution except the U.S. and Somalia. At least I am glad they are looking out for our kids. If anybody is going to destry their future, they better be American!

    “that neither the United States nor any state shall infringe upon this right without demonstrating that its governmental interest as applied to the person is of the highest order and not otherwise served”

    A)The broad language of “without [first] demonstrating that its governmental interest..is of highest order and not otherwised served” keeps gov’ts hand in the mix.

    B)I don’t need the government to “grant” me rights with regards to my child that I already have.

    HERE IS HOW IT SHOULD READ:
    Constitutional Amendment – States that the liberty of parents to direct the upbringing and education of their children is a fundamental God given right. States that neither the United States nor any state shall infringe upon this right AND provides that no international treaty or source of international law may be entered into that seeks to supersede, modify, interpret, or remove the rights guaranteed by this amendment.

    To watchers, I like that wording. In an earlier post you talk about “keeps gov’ts hand in the mix.” When a parent is actually found to be abusing the child (beating him/her (I don’t mean spanking), starving the child, selling the child, etc) then the government has to be able to step in.

    God has given us the right to be parents and have a child not Government or States. Therefore who is government to take away this God given Right.
