Bastards; How Yesterday’s Rejection Of The Disabilities Treaty Damages America’s Children
Even after a wheelchair delivered heartfelt plea from 89 year old, handicapped, former Senator Bob Dole, our U.S. senate rejected the UN treat to ban discrimination against people with disabilities.
The reason given was that acceptance would “infringe on American sovereignity”.
The real reason is that we would have to agree to the International Rights of the Children Treaty and quit training American 12 year old’s as soldiers like the rest of the world has.
America is the ONLY nation to not sign the Rights of The Children Treaty (Somalia doesn’t count because it does not have a functioning government).
The rest of the world (200 + nations) agrees that it is wrong to train children as young as 12 as soldiers.
