AT A GLANCE

• UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Education Farida Shaheed criticizes U.S. schools for lacking federal control.

• The UN pushes global education standards tied to progressive ideology.

• The UN demands that governments override parental authority.

• Our children are in the UN’s crosshairs.

The United Nations and its “human rights” bureaucracy are unhappy with American education — especially President Donald Trump’s policies and proposals. Instead of local or parental control, the UN is pushing for radical changes: more federal power, less educational choice, government oversight of private schools, and the promotion of controversial ideological content — all at taxpayer expense. It also wants education globally redefined as a UN-backed “human right.”

The eventual goal is a UN-controlled, highly centralized “education” system that transforms children and society by changing minds, attitudes, and beliefs. Indeed, the UN has been openly calling for just such centralization for decades in official agreements adopted by governments worldwide. And now, the UN is naming and shaming those nations whose governments do not fully submit to the demands. Naturally, the United States is in the crosshairs as one of the chief villains.

UN Investigates U.S.

The UN’s latest attack on U.S. education, parental rights, state and national sovereignty, and the Constitution came in the form of an investigation and “country report” to the UN’s dictator-dominated Human Rights Council.
