excerpted from the HSLDA E-lert Service:

The CRPD,UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, which would take away American sovereignty and threaten parental rights, needed two-thirds of the Senate in order to pass. Although it gained a majority of votes, it failed on a vote of 61-38. This is a great victory for parental rights, homeschool freedom, and children with special needs. The U.S. Senate rejected a treaty which would have allowed UN bureaucrats to decide what is in the “best interests” of children with disabilities, instead leaving those decisions with parents and caregivers, which is what existing U.S. law already requires.
