ACLU and UN Teaming up to Bash America....

Add the ACLU to the UN and you get one big shit stew of douchebaggery....

WASHINGTON, May 13 (IPS) - Pressed by the demands of the "global war on terrorism", the United States is violating an international protocol that forbids the recruitment of children under the age of 18 for military service, according to a new report released Tuesday by a major civil rights group that charged that recruitment practices target children as young as 11 years old.

The 46-page report, "Soldiers of Misfortune", which was prepared by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) for submission to the U.N. Committee on the Rights of the Child, also found that the U.S. military disproportionately targets poor and minority public school students.

"the U.S. military disproportionately targets poor and minority public school students."

Would they be racist if they targeted mostly white kids?

Obama is big on this "Rights of Child" garbage (and wonder why he doesn't support the right of a child who survives an abortion?), which will remove basic parental rights in favor of the state.
