Yesterday, I had an opportunity to share with Dr. James Dobson about the threat that the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child poses to parental rights. Although the interview is the conclusion of a two-part series on the importance of home schooling fathers, this treaty poses a danger to more than just families who home school. Dr. Dobson and I discuss how the government can use the treaty to override the decisions of parents on the basis of the “best interests of the child,” and how the ratification of this treaty is more of a threat today than it ever has been before.

Listen to the discussion with Dr. James Dobson. The discussion of parental rights and the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child begins about seventeen minutes into the program.

In addition to speaking with Dr. James Dobson yesterday, I was also able to share with Tim Wildmon of the American Family Association about parental rights. During this twelve-minute interview, Tim and I discuss the growing specter of international law, the dangers that international treaties like the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child will pose, and how conservative justices are looking for an explicit provision in the Constitution before defending parental rights.
