The reaction to the UNCRC has nothing to do with children rebelling against their parents. Children must eventually find their own answers and they have every right to reject the beliefs of their parents, especially when those beliefs are inappropriate.

As far as usurping parental authority where is it written that parents have plenary rights in the matter. The concept of parental authority comes from Christian dogma and the desire of clerics to impose their thinking on parents and through them their children.

Children have a right to their autonomy and to their right to develop into adults without the wanton interference of organized religion. You do not have to pay taxes to form a legitimate opinion on the falseness of relition. Many six year olds can see through the illogic of religious doctrine and cant.

This usurping of parental rights would be fine if kids were already full developed mentally, emotionally, morally, intellectually, and they were working and paying taxes. But they’re not so until then they have to wait their turn to be heard, when the “know better” like we did.

Unfortunately, we the revolutionary generation brought it on ourselves and this is how we thought we wanted to raise our kids as we rebelled against our parents. Well, now our kids’ kids are rebelling against their parent’s watered down teachings that we bestowed upon them and the hole just keep on getting deeper and deeper. All power to the people.
