Well, I'm not a fan of Michael Farris, the president of the group.
So personally, I'm staying far away from it.

Ack! Three clicks and I'm looking at Michael Farris.

http://www.parentalrights.org/about/board-of-directors

I had a sneaking suspicion that site would lead to a fundamentalist
Christian connection. Michael Farris and company are big against the
UN Convention on the Rights of Children.

Here's some links I sent to someone last time Michael Farris's name
came up:

I don't post much these days. I've been busy with my growing family
and my computer time has significantly gone down! Anyway... I saw
this and wanted to share. I wrote a blog about this a long time ago
and thought it might be of some interest.

http://www.swissarmywife.net/2008/02/hslda-and-parentalrightsorg.html

I am aware that whether or not our parental rights are already
protected by the constitution will could be debated. I've had some
time to think since I wrote it and I'm not so sure now. Heck, with
the way government is going, I'm not sure ANYTHING is protected by the
Constitution anymore!

Enjoy!
