This is one slick twisted operation IMO.
They point out how those in pre-school continue on to graduate and go on to college. They don't point out that those who can afford to send their kids to pre-school are the ones who are going ot make sure their kids attend high school and don't drop out.
If the state winds up paying for pre-school, the drop out rates won't change. Hell, you'll be lucky if the kids don't wind up dropping out by the time they finish pre-school.
Parenting, and not pre-school is the only way to turn out good kids Meathead.
They've been running these ads non-stop for the last two years at least, even on talk-radio stations like KFI640 down here.
The brainwashing campaign began a long time ago. Who is funding this initiative? Seems very well funded, and fairly insidious.
ROBBER REINER'S LIES
AND HOLLYWOOD MONEY
WON AGAIN!
(Talk about Big Fat!)
Situational ethics?When Reiner put River Phoenix in his movie, Stand By Me, and had him
smoke throughout, Phoenix was only 14 years old. Guess it's okay to
have kids smoke when it's for Reiner's benefit.
Even the sappy 'Meathead' couldn't surpass the unctious, socialist-nannyism of Rob Reiner.
Big Brother has to keep growing bigger, doncha know.

Rob Reiner should do what he does best: Live in complete, total, and well-deserved obscurity. |
We have state funded Pre-K here in Georgia (lottery funded, Zell Miller-Best Governor Ever to actually do what he said he would and use the lotto money for it) and it does help alot of students learn to read earlier and do better down the line. You'd be surprised how many kids go to Kindergarten and not even know their abc's, much less recognise them visibly. Shame how many parents don't care to teach their toddlers anything, even colors.
All my children have benefitted for it. Usually the Pre-K isn't at the school (although they have a few classes there), but at a daycare center and funds are given to the center for "school hours".
If they want kids to educate kids, get them out of the government monopoly school system. Give parents a voucher and allow kids to go to any school they want to, let those that love public school remain in them. In this way, the problems will be highlighted, and they will no longer be able to mask them.
Great disguise! Nobody would expect that creep to be getting a diploma. He'll surely make a clean getaway.
Libertarian ping.To be added or removed from my ping list freepmail me or post a message hereIf anyone thinks Reiner is doing this because he gives a rip about preschoolers, then they're more of a meathead than he is.
It's babysitting for the "poor".
Reiner played Meathead who lived off Archie Bunker's food, housing, utilities, furniture and possessions while remaining the perpetual, unemployed, professional, liberal student.
He is now living off residuals from Archie Bunker's reruns while remaining the perpetual, unemployed, professional, liberal know-it-all.
That's some really Clintonian reasoning on display there, Meathead.

Written to his specifications, the law dictates that 6% of the tax revenue be allotted to communications efforts.
The law does not specify that any ads focus on preschool. It says the money should be used to "encourage proper childhood development"; good parenting; information about child care, health and social services; the prevention of tobacco and drug use by pregnant women; and information about the "detrimental effects of secondhand smoke on early childhood development."
Once again, people at the ballot box were schnookered by a feel-good Proposition, without seeing where the fine-print will lead. Any parent should have rejected this leftist measure to control their children and to define what constitutes "good parenting."
