This vital treaty has been bottled up for eight years of the Bush administration where it stood no chance of passage. Now with progressives in charge of the government it is very possible it may get ratified. The Christian fascists know if it passes it will set a new tone in our government and they don't like it at all. The very idea of children having rights is anathema to them because children are evil according to their theology and evil people don't deserve rights. Nor do blacks or other inferior types. This is exactly the way they think.
It behooves us all to understand the truth about the UN CRC because there is going to be lots of discussion and much of it will be as uninformed as the discussion about evolution.
