A few months back, my husband and I watched the science-fiction, Christian drama titled, "Remember". If one was to view this DVD without being informed of present day legislature, you might consider it ridiculous and only realistic in a b-movie fiction platform.
The scary part is that this is already a reality in some areas of the world. Perhaps it is not to the the extent where parents aren't allowed to raise their own children. The difference is, parents are being dictated how to raise them. If they do not follow what the United Nations has deemed appropriate, they are at danger of potentially losing their children.
While attending a homeschool convention last summer, we learned some scary facts from Michael Smith, Esq about the UN turning some European countries into nanny states.
In Scotland, it has just been signed into law that every child will be appointed a guardian of the state. If that child feels like it is being mistreated in any way (i.e., told to attend church on Sunday), they have the power to inform their state appointed guardian of the Christian pressure at home, leaving the parent powerless to raise their children according to Biblical principles.

I usually try to keep this blog a happy place focused on homemaking, however, without the freedom to direct our families, what is a home?
The United Nations is pushing the United States to sign a similar treaty which will give the responsibility of raising children over to the government and international forces. Do you realize the scary implications here? If you think these laws will NOT touch the United States, then you may need to read the "Unbelievable State of Parental Rights in America" or view the documentary below (better yet, wait till your husband comes home and watch it together). It is heartbreaking.
Thank God that there are God-fearing people who spend their time fighting for our children for us. As the HSLDA is a blessing for homeschool freedom, Parental Rights.org is here to protect your family freedom, your God given right to raise up your child for His glory.

We've watched laws being passed every year that take away parental rights and courts ruling in favor of the state or child, anyone other than the parents who are only trying to raise their children in the fear of the Lord. Thank you for using your blog as a platform to keep us informed and not to take for granted the rights we still currently posses. Generations with a Vision is another ministry on the front lines in this area.
ReplyDeleteGenerations with a Vision does sound familiar... I will need to look them up. Thanks for the information Katie and for sharing support!
DeleteThis is very scary JES! Every day when I listen to Christian radio I am shocked at what is happening.... Like the Christian lady about to be hung in Sudan... Very frightening times.

Yes... I don't know if you were able to watch the video, but it is actually very shocking... How can this be happening in the United States? It chills the blood.
DeleteDear Jes, Maybe you should consider putting this on your sidebar for a season. So many are really in the dark of the rights as American parents and families that we have already lost!
ReplyDeleteWhen we look back from being warned about this many years ago we can now see they have roots that are making there way into every city and state. Good Job...
We need to blow the whistle to get peoples attention! Or we will loose all our freedoms!
Blessings, Roxy I am all American And we must let Freedom Ring;
Thanks for the suggestion Roxy (I will work on that next week) and thank you for your support. Our rights is what has made being American so special, I hate to lose all that!!!
DeleteThanks for bringing this to our attention Jes. I just finished watching the video. I'll pin it to my parenting board and share with others.
ReplyDeleteThank you! The more people that know, the more chance there is in changing these terrible tides...
DeleteJes, Thanks for Linking up this important information! I just help people will make time to watch it!
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Miss Roxy
