Crackdown on Homeschoolers: It’s the UN Wot Done It

In today’s Belgian newspaper Gazet van Antwerpen Bob Van de Voorde, the spokesman of Frank Vandenbroucke, the minister of Education, says:
“One of the conditions [for homeschooling] is that the homeschoolers must sign a document in which they promise to rear their children along the lines of the UN Convention on Children’s Rights. These parents have not done this. This is why the ministry has started an inquiry.”
 
The parents Mr Van de Voorde is referring to in the paper are my husband (TBJ editor Paul Belien) and myself. The “inquiry” is a threat to prosecute us.
Homeschooling is a constitutional right in Belgium. We have homeschooled four of our five children through high school. Only the youngest is still being homeschooled because the others are already at university. And yet, as if they have nothing better to do, the Belgian police and judiciary are conducting an “inquiry” into our homeschooling to see whether we “rear our children along the lines of the United Nations Convention on Children’s Rights.”

Time to get out of the UN?
One World Order?
 
NOTE by POSTER:
I do have issues with homeschooling,  
but everyone needs to read this whole article.  
If people of the USA don't speak up, in years  
to come we may be a POLICED NATION.  
Perhaps not in our lifetime, but in years to come!
 
Why take the chance, speak up now.
