A case in point is the European Convention on Human Rights, an offshoot of the U.N. Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which is currently being used by the German government to ban homeschooling and to indoctrinate public and private school students into fully embracing a socialist state. Recently, almost 40 German families have endured imprisonment, heavy fines, state seizure of children, and in some cases the serious hardship of seeking asylum in neighboring countries, all because they have chosen to homeschool their children due to concerns over hedonistic exposure to sexually explicit materials in the German public school system. Incredibly, Sven-Georg Adenauer, a Christian-Democrat governor joined at the hip with the Socialist party, demanded the prison sentences.

According to LifeSiteNews.com, the European Court utilized Article 2 of the European Convention on Human Rights and concluded that "Parents may not refuse the right to education of a child on the basis of their convictions" adding that the right to education "by its very nature calls for regulation by the State."

Furthermore, "the Court agreed with the finding of Germany's Federal Constitutional Court which stressed 'the general interest of society to avoid the emergence of parallel societies based on separate philosophical convictions and the importance of integrating minorities into society.'"

The fiasco in Germany is only a sample of what might happen in the U.S. If the U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child is ratified by a future socialist Democrat government. If such were to occur, parental rights over the moral and educational guidance of their children would likewise be seriously endangered. And who is to say that this can't happen, with over 60 Democrats at the federal level holding membership in the House Progressive Caucus, which has been called a socialist front group, and with Democrats dominating both chambers of Congress, openly embracing tenets of socialist philosophy along with our globalist-minded Supreme Court?

Indeed, has not the predominantly socialist-minded Democrat legislature in California already attempted to enact the same power? Within the past year they have passed four bills aimed at indoctrinating public school children into acceptance of promiscuous lifestyles such as homosexuality. Only Governor Schwarzenegger's refusal to sign prevented three of those bills from passing. Ironically, the actor-turned-politician signed off on a fourth bill discriminating against religious colleges that refuse to endorse homosexual behavior.
