It was introduced in the 113th Congress in the House as H.J.Res. 50, in the Senate as S.J.Res. 37. The Amendment would preserve the right of parents to direct the education, upbringing, and care of their children. Urging grassroots calls and emails in support. Opposition to the U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child, a treaty that could threaten parental rights if ratified by the U.S. Senate. Work on articles opposing the treaty, and work to educate Senators and their staff about the dangers of the treaty. Opposition to the U.N. Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, a U.N. treaty that could threaten parental rights of parents with children who have disabilities if ratified by the U.S. Senate. The CRPD would allow UN officials to oversee all decisions regarding children with disabilities under the treaty's use of the "best interests of the child" standard. The treaty would also cede US sovereignty to the UN.
