The students at Phoenix Military Academy would like to bring recognition
to the "rights of all children" as proclaimed by the United Nations.
"Recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal an inalienable
rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice, and peace in the world...everyone is entitled
to all these rights and freedoms, without distinction of any kind, such as race, color, sex, language, religion, political,
or other opinion, national, or social origin, property, birth, or other status...
Childohood is entitled to special care and assistance...
Recognizing that the child, for the full and harmonious development
of his or her personality, should grow up in a family environment, in an atmosphere of happiness, love and understanding.
