I smell a socialist.
Yes, smartarse (much better than Yardbird). I’m not an English major, but I am a PhD.
So there.
jump back! whoa there! PhD!
No.
Wrong, the heavenly aroma you detect is an orthodox Catholic, never a socialist. I do have compassion for the misled and uneducated like this poor Kiki kid. Do you really think any kid, upon realizing his parents are worthless dregs, is pleased with that knowledge?
oh ok
Anyone who advocates for state-sponsored universal childcare is a socialist.
Yup.
kids want to be with their “parents” in many cases. It is a horrible situation. When the kids are removed it is not pretty, they are screaming and crying and so are their parents, it is done by force. It is ugly.

Kids want to be with their abusers too. but doesnt mean they should. Parents who dont parent are abusers and neglectful.
Hilter did the same thing in Germany, even creating babies on the assembly line, and indoctrinating each to be a good Nazi ready to die for the Fatherland.
Kids in this situaion need to be placed in orphanages....

Agreed!
The goal is birth through age 22. Every last escape route must be closed.
This is why the Left constantly pushes for "free" college, pre-school and daycare.
They want it all. And parents have complied. Overwhelmingly.
Of course, they want to be with their parents — no matter how abusive the parents are — so, yes, they will cry and scream. But sometimes we must do things for children for their own good.
State-sponsored childcare “crowds out” private child care, such as church-based childcare. When government power goes up, the influence of religion goes down.
You’ve summed it up brilliantly, apillar. When I was a kid, kindergarten was optional. That changed to mandatory and became a half day. That changed to mandatory full day. I said then that pre-school would become mandatory... half day at first until it is a full day. After that, nursery school will come next.
I will say this and I don’t care if I get flamed or not. I am sick and tired of more social programs for “the children”. Everything is for the children. Take guns away FOR THE CHILDREN, more welfare FOR THE CHILDREN, more WIC, free housing, school supplies FOR THE CHILDREN. It is such bull. It has nothing to do “for the children” at all... it is simply a way to control. If a parent(s) of limited income really wanted to help their child.. it’s easy. It is called getting off your butt and doing it yourself. How hard is it to teach colors, numbers, how to write your name. It would take less than a half an hour a day but no... we need big government, teacher unions and another person (i.e. us) paying for it.
Do I feel sorry for little kids born to rotten parents? Of course I do. However, the government wants all kids.. not just the “poor” ones. They want them all indoctrinated.. not just the poor ones.
HA, HA, HA! I don't care who you are. That's funny.
(From a guy with a master's in English ;-) )
Then the next step is to make it compulsory....

Bingo! Yes, you are right. They want control of the children so that they can indoctrinate them.
You are right in all that you say except your reference to the time frame. I remember attending a talk in the 1970s — long before I ever had the misfortune to lay eyes upon Bill Clinton — which was part of a gathering of educators focused on preschool education.
I left long before it was over but not before I heard some ninny on the stage gushing on about the goal of getting the little ones at birth. She was quite serious. It was frightening.
I am an English major

So you are still in school and on a learner’s permit for punctuation usage?
My daughter is almost 4. I realize when I take her out in public that she’s one of the biggest kids I see around any more. It makes me sad. She learns so much from me.
I want my kids to have the best finish in life. I once looked at counties with the earliest mandatory child education. Those countries also had the highest teen suicide rates.
