For those of you who haven't heard anything about it, there is a group trying to push a constitutional amendment to guarantee a parent's rights to raise their children as they see fit, including the right to spank kids, have more control over the type of education that the child receives, and a handful of other issues.
The Amendment would look something like this-
SECTION 1
The liberty of parents to direct the upbringing and education of their children is a fundamental right.

SECTION 2
Neither the United States nor any State shall infringe upon this right without demonstrating that its governmental interest as applied to the person is of the highest order and not otherwise served.

SECTION 3
No treaty may be adopted nor shall any source of international law be employed to supersede, modify, interpret, or apply to the rights guaranteed by this article.

More or less it's a counter measure to the current treaty that the UN is trying to push, which can basically be outlined as follows-

* Definition of children as all persons less than 18 years of age, unless the legal age of majority in a country is lower.

* General principles, including the right to life, survival and development, the right to non-discrimination, respect for the views of children and to give consideration to a child's best interests, and the requirement to give primary consideration to the child's best interests in all matters affecting them.

* Civil rights and freedoms, including the right to a name and nationality, freedom of expression, thought and association, access to information and the right not to be subjected to torture.

* Family environment and alternative care, including the right to live with and have contact with both parents, to be reunited with parents if separated from them and to the provision of appropriate alternative care where necessary.

* Basic heath and welfare, including the rights of disabled children, the right to health and health care, social security, child care services and an adequate standard of living.

* Education, leisure and cultural activities, including the right to education and the rights to play, leisure and participation in cultural life and the arts.

* Special protection measures covering the rights of refugee children, those affected by armed conflicts, children in the juvenile justice system, children deprived of their liberty and children suffering economic, sexual or other forms of exploitation.
