“It’s not easy being three years old,” said Mike McNally, writing on Pajamas Media, adding that with potty training, play dates, and learning to feed yourself, life can be a constant challenge.
A case in point is the fact that British tots will soon be subjected to “lessons on human rights and multiculturalism, in between finger-painting sessions and nap time.” It’s all part of the “United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child,” a plan to develop “Rights Respecting Schools” not only in elementary schools, but at the nursery level as well.
“British nursery schools will teach human rights to kids just out of diapers in a UNICEF-sponsored campaign,” noted education scribe Joanne Jacobs, who said that “nurseries across the country are adopting the project, where children as young as three will learn that people across the world live different lives but everyone has a right to food, water and shelter.
“Staff will also be expected to ensure that children are treated as independent human beings, and have the ‘right’ to choose their toys or have a drink of water whenever they want.”
