This past weekend, the State Department and President Obama - TopicsExpress



          

This past weekend, the State Department and President Obama renewed the administration’s call for U.S. ratification of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), a dangerous U.N. treaty that would greatly diminish parental rights for those whose children suffer disabilities. It is unfortunately clear that ParentalRights.org is not alone in hoping to sway the Senate regarding CRPD ratification before their session reconvenes in September. On Friday, August 9, the State Department released a John Kerry video and published a new web page promoting ratification of the treaty. Neither featured any new arguments or citable facts. Rather, they echo the same inaccurate arguments that have been pushed since the middle of last year. Still, their publication demonstrates that the State Department is not letting the lack of accurate information halt their push for ratification.
