Another reason to homeschool - protect your children from the UN

Allen Quist's column Obama Administration To Impose Liberal UN Curriculum warns:

----------
American schools used to teach the fundamental values of the United States--including the inalienable, God-given rights of life, liberty and property, as guaranteed by our Declaration of Independence and Constitution. Not any more. Now our students will be indoctrinated in the UN's definition of human rights. As clarified by the UN's UDHR, our rights now may not "be exercised contrary to the purposes and principles of the United Nations" (Art 29:3). Our children will be taught that they have only those rights the UN says they have.

The title of the column is a bit misleading. The administration is trying to bribe the state governments. If they don't follow the lead of the U.S. Department of Education, they'll miss out on some money.

The United Nations may be a great idea. It would be wonderful if all the nations in the world worked together, to get along, help each other, and support each other's peaceful goals.

However, in practice the United Nations is often hostile to American interests.

A frequent reason for many to homeschool is to protect their children from the brainwashing in government schools. Here is another instance of the government's attempt.
