Yep, and I bet the union has ties to the SEIU. Give them time and we will have mandated government daycare. They are already doing it to some degree with the new 4-K classes that are in many public schools. These are not mandatory, but guess what? Neither was kindergarten when it started back in the 60’s. Now k is a mandatory in most every state except some of the southern states.(Alabama for ex.) Soon 4-k will be mandatory to so that every child will have “equal opportunity” in education. These 4-k classes have made it very difficult for privately owned daycare centers to compete and they have suffered financially because they have lost a # of their students to the govt’ school. These classes in the schools are cheaper for the parent. So what has happened? Daycare centers have raised prices for the younger ages to make up for the loss of their 4 year olds. They had to do this everytime the dept. of human resources lowers the teacher to child ratios as well. Luckily, I was able to quit my job and stay home with my children and raise them the way I see is the best, but if the trend continues we will see gov’t mandated care. Then next will be stricter laws for those who homeschool. :/
