It’s been a long time since I first blogged on how the UN was attacking parental rights through the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC). ParentalRights.org earlier this week announced that those who oppose are very close to having the votes needed to ensure that this treaty is never ratified. This is good news if you don’t remember what is present in this particular treaty.
