Pedagogical Freedom
A resolution to promote funding and the development of education and the arts.
Category: Education and Creativity
Area of Effect: Educational
Proposed by: Tinhampton
Believing that it ought to promote the right of parents to direct their children's education (rather than hindering it, i.e. by requiring homeschoolers to seek teacher supervision or completely outlawing homeschooling), the General Assembly resolves, with immediate effect, that:
a. Subject to prior and standing international law, member states and their political subdivisions ("members") must respect, in law and in practice:
i. the right of parents, carers and guardians ("parents") of children to direct and guarantee, with regard to their sincerely-held moral beliefs, the education of their children, and
ii. the right of children to receive a full-time education which is adequate and appropriate to their age and ability.
b. Members are strongly urged to respect the right of adults to receive an education as described in Article a(ii).
c. This Compact must not be interpreted to necessarily require members to fully fund or partially subsidise schools; those judgments are reserved to the individual member states.
d. This Compact must not be interpreted to forbid members from requiring parents to enrol their children into a school, provided that they have a reasonable belief that those parents have failed to guarantee that their children receive an education as described in Article a(ii).

Parents don't need permission from the GA direct the education of their children. This proposal strikes me as ridiculous and entirely superfluous. Much ado about nothing. AGAINST

Yeah. Against. Also is it me or is this a bit to far into the NatSov territory?

It is, at least in the sense that is has barely any obligations for member states at all, and the few that would be placed by this resolution are entirely superfluous.

I've probably re-read this too much. For being so short, it's amazing how much of it is complete gibberish. I still don't entirely understand what they are trying to mandate states do--you're going to force them to *respect* the rights of parents to guarantee their children an education? What does that even mean...
I do get some perverse satisfaction at resolutions like this that get shot down in flames with 87% votes Against.
OK, I get it now. I got confused by the words "respect" and "direct" in there. If the author wanted to mandate that the state can't interfere when a child is being brainwashed by their insane parent's "moral beliefs" then they should have just written that. Still would have deservedly crashed to earth in a pile of burning rubble, but it's at 90% now as it is...
(yeah, I am bored but I swear I haven't been thinking about it the whole 9 hours between posts)
