Without concerted citizen action to uphold them close to home, we shall look in vain for progress in the larger world<\/em> (Eleanor Roosevelt quotation Chair of the UN Human Rights Commission that drafted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, 1948 – the foundation for starting children\u2019s rights).<\/p>\n Thank you for celebrating child rights in your classroom!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Want More?
