UN to ban homeschooling by stealth?

Jon sent me this link with the following commentary:

Mr Kafka. Paging Mr. Kafka. Mr. Kafka, please pick up a white courtesy cockroach.

The article discusses the efforts of the Belgian Ministry of Education to force the author's family to give up homeschooling the youngest of their five children (all were homeschooled, and the older four all went on to university). The reason for the ministry's interest? The parents have refused to sign a document which states their agreement to conditions which, if not met, result in the child being forced to attend a government school:

The fact that a growing group of children seems to be escaping from the government’s influence clearly bothers the authorities. Three years ago a new school bill was introduced. The new bill refers to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and it obliges homeschooling parents to fill out a questionaire and sign an official "declaration of homeschooling" in which they agree to school their children "respecting the respect [sic] for the fundamental human rights and the cultural values of the child itself and of others."

The declaration does not specify what "respecting the respect for the fundamental human rights and the cultural values of the child itself and of others" means. It states, however, that government inspectors decide about this and adds — and here is the crux of the matter — that if the parents receive two negative reports from the inspectors they will have to send their child to an official government recognized school.

My husband and I have refused to sign this statement since we are unwilling to put our signature under a document that forces us to send our children to government controlled schools if two state inspectors decide on the basis of arbitrary criteria that we are not "respecting the respect for the fundamental human rights and the cultural values of the child itself and of others."

You would think, if common sense were a factor here, that having already established a 100% university admission rate among their children, these parents would be assumed to be capable of homeschooling their children to an acceptable level, wouldn't you?
