Mike Farris:
International law is becoming a pervasive influence in the United States and a major concern, for our constituency, is the U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child. Governor Huckabee, how would you guard Americans’ rights in the face of this international legal threat?
Governor Huckabee:
It really is of great concern that there are people who believe that the United States should subject itself to treaties in which some international government or international government organization would dictate how a parent raises his or her child, including the disciplining of a child. If we were to adopt the policies of the U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child, we essentially have done something that I personally think is not only unconstitutional but I think is unconscionable. That is, we have sacrificed the rights of mothers and fathers in this country to some international entity that is simply unacceptable and it is of utmost concern to me.
Mike:
Thank you so much, Mike, for being with us. I’m Mike Farris.
