Unfortunately, the United Nations still doesn’t understand that when parents are free to choose the best form of education for their children, the children win.

Here in the United States, parents are challenging public government control of education. This is happening in elections, in the unprecedented growth in home schooling, and in the expansion of school choice programs. Even the U.N. cannot ignore these facts.

But while acknowledging growth in home education in a tiny box on page 32 of the 474-page report, the U.N. report attributes interest in home schooling to “advocacy by a global conservative movement.” Yes, really. There is no mention of the fact that home schooling grew the fastest among minority groups. There is no mention that home schooling yields positive academic results and produces well-socialized, productive graduates.
