Show Description:
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid recently said that the Senate would be giving consideration to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Treaty (UNCRPD). A vote could come any time this week.
The name of this treaty sounds like a worldwide step-forward for those who suffer from disabilities. However, if ratified, Article 7 of this treaty would establish a legal standard here in America that would override the traditional, fundamental rights of parents to direct the education and upbringing of their children with special needs. In effect, this treaty would undermine our national sovereignty.
America already has the best disability laws in the world therefore ratification of this treaty just so that we can have a “seat at the table” of any U.N. discussions regarding disabled individuals is simply unnecessary.
