The Convention on the Rights of the Child was adopted by the General Assembly of the United Nations on the 20th of November 1989. As part of a celebration, internationalists backing this UN Convention have declared November 20th of this year as 'Children's Day.' In response, ParentalRights.org will rally in Washington, D.C. on that day.

The rally will be held at the U.S. Capitol from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., on the East Lawn across from the Rayburn House Office building.

Speakers during the rally will include Rep. Peter Hoekstra and Sen. Jim DeMint, the lead sponsors of the Parental Rights Amendment; Gerard Robinson with Black Alliance for Educational Options; William Estrada of Homeschool Legal Defense Association; Dean and Julie Nelson of National Black Home Educators; and Steven Groves of Heritage Foundation.

Whether you homeschool or not, parental rights have been and are continuing to be under attack.
Want your voice heard? ParentalRights.org wants to hear from you. If you have experienced any assault or threat to your parental rights, make your story known by emailing ParentalRights.org at stories@parentalrights.org. Every email will be read so it is asked that you keep your stories brief and you will be contacted directly if more information is needed.

Homeschooling is a parental right...Let's keep it that way!
