The UN Declares War on Home Education
AT A GLANCE
• The UN is now targeting homeschooling.
• UNESCO asserts that no government may tolerate unsupervised home education.
• Religious homeschoolers are singled out.
• Americans must act now to reject UNESCO’s encroachment.
A North Korean Communist, some Islamists, and a bunch of globalist ideologues working for the United Nations walk into a bar in Paris and decide that to protect “human rights,” governments must seize total control over home education. It sounds like a bad joke. Unfortunately, the threat is all too real.
The UN, long hostile to independent education, is now targeting one of its last refuges: homeschooling. In a newly published report, the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) asserts that no government may tolerate unsupervised home education. Instead, to comply with “international human rights law,” governments must impose draconian oversight, tight regulation, and even ideological conformity on any families outside the system.
Released in 2025 under the title “Homeschooling Through a Human Rights Lens,” the report asserts that homeschooling must be reined in with mandatory registration, official evaluations, home visits, “training” for parents, and curricula aligned with UN-mandated values. Governments, it insists, must also increase their “regulatory capacity” to control homeschooling families at every stage. Even “education content” must comply with UN demands.
