The UN agenda to eliminate firearms reaches far beyond disarmament—it will have a dramatic impact on education as well. Stay tuned to find out how, on today’s Home School Heartbeat with Michael Farris.

Mike Farris:
The UN agenda for children does not stop with the direct disarming of individuals. Article 29 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child imposes educational standards on nations who become parties to the treaty. This includes “peace education,” which the UN has defined to include disarmament education.

The UN World Congress on Disarmament Education adopted the following definition of disarmament, and I quote: “Any form of action aimed at limiting, controlling or reducing arms, including unilateral disarmament initiatives, and, ultimately, general and complete disarmament under effective international control. It may also be understood as a process aimed at transforming the current system of armed nation States into a new world order of planned unarmed peace in which war is no longer an instrument of national policy.” End quote.

This world congress (The Congress on Disarmament Education) also adopted this statement—“Disarmament education offers an occasion to elucidate emerging concepts such as the individual and collective rights to peace and to development.” End quote

If the U.S. Senate ratifies the Convention on the Rights of the Child, we will be obligated to teach our children to believe in a world where nations no longer have the means to defend themselves, but instead have become a part of a pacifist new world order. I’m Mike Farris.
