A United Nations human rights treaty that could prohibit children from being
spanked or homeschooled, ban youngsters from facing the death penalty and
forbid parents from deciding their families' religion is on America's
doorstep, a legal expert warns...

According to the Parental Rights; , the substance of the CRC dictates the following:

* Parents would no longer be able to administer reasonable spankings
to their children.
* A murderer aged 17 years, 11 months and 29 days at the time of his
crime could no longer be sentenced to life in prison.
* Children would have the ability to choose their own religion while
parents would only have the authority to give their children advice about
religion.
* The best interest of the child principle would give the government
the ability to override every decision made by every parent if a government
worker disagreed with the parent's decision.
* A child's "right to be heard" would allow him (or her) to seek
governmental review of every parental decision with which the child
disagreed.
* According to existing interpretation, it would be illegal for a
nation to spend more on national defense than it does on children's welfare.

* Children would acquire a legally enforceable right to leisure.
* Teaching children about Christianity in schools has been held to be
out of compliance with the CRC.
* Allowing parents to opt their children out of sex education has been
held to be out of compliance with the CRC.
* Children would have the right to reproductive health information and
services, including abortions, without parental knowledge or consent.
