Experts Decry UN Education Agency For Seeking To ‘Take Over’ Homeschooling

Alex Newman

The United Nations just put a giant target on the backs of homeschoolers worldwide. Under the guise of “human rights,” the U.N.’s controversial “education” bureaucracy is officially demanding that all governments regulate and control home education—if they allow it at all.

The U.N.’s demands include “education standards” for homeschooling, as well as “accountability” to government. The outfit is also demanding mandatory registration, forced “evaluations” of homeschoolers by authorities, compulsory “home visits,” and much more. In fact, the agency is even calling for U.N.-approved values and attitudes to be imposed on children across a wide array of issues, with U.N. control of “education content.”

The new U.N. Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) report on home education, titled “Homeschooling through a human rights lens,” lays out the most draconian global assault on home education in history. The powerful global agency, long dominated by card-carrying communists, claims governments must bring homeschooling under their thumb—for the benefit of the children, of course.

Unsurprisingly, the top U.N. official involved in the push comes from the “Democratic People’s Republic” of Korea (DPRK), better known as North Korea. According to the report’s acknowledgements, it was prepared under the “supervision” of Gwang-Chol Chang, chief of the UNESCO Section of Education Policy.

Before joining the U.N. to help transform education globally, Chang worked for the mass-murdering North Korean Communist regime’s “Education Ministry.” The agency operates among the most comprehensive communist brainwashing systems in human history. And yet, with no sense of the irony, the government controls being demanded by Chang and his minions are said to be necessary to uphold what the global body describes as “international human rights.” Yes, seriously.

If the U.N. agenda is not stopped, parents and even private schools that refuse to comply with the U.N.’s outrageous demands will be accused of violating the “human rights” of children. The calls for total control are clear—and portrayed as mandatory.

“Governments must implement oversight mechanisms such as registration and evaluations,” the report declares (emphasis added), demanding more “regulatory capacity.”

“As homeschooling continues to evolve, adopting a rights-based approach becomes crucial,” the report continues, touting the “need for quality education” as defined by the U.N. through “established minimum education standards and accountability.”

Even the content of homeschooling materials must be in line with the U.N., the report makes clear.

“The educational content provided through homeschooling must be aligned with the aims of education set out by the Convention on the Rights of the Child,” explains the report, despite acknowledging that the U.S. government is not a party to that U.N. agreement.

Among the “key considerations” cited by the U.N. to ensure that homeschooling fosters “child well-being” is mandated “exposure to cultural diversity.”

The global education agency also claims there are “concerns” that “persist” about the supposed “lack of exposure to diverse perspectives and potential effects on social cohesion.” In other words, if your children do not receive enough LGBT instruction or Critical Race Theory propaganda, their supposed “human right” to “socialization” and “quality education” is being violated.

This understanding is not speculation. U.N. “Special Rapporteur on the Right to Education” Farida Shaheed recently slammed states such as Florida and Texas for seeking to protect children from exactly that sort of perverse indoctrination.

The new U.N. report goes on to claim that children must be taught certain UN-approved values such as “global citizenship” and “respect for diversity,” a term often used by the U.N. to promote gender confusion and “progressive” ideologies.
