“This is all about a push for government control of toddlers...”

Took the words right out of my mouth. Kindergarten where I am is now full time not a half day. What is missing is the question: “if they do so well after kindergarten then why shouldn’t we mandate full time pre-school starting at two”. It is all about taking the kids into the indoctrination centers earlier than later. Just a thought

This seems fairly obvious to me. Kindergarden is the first year parents hand their children over to the school for 6 hours of day. Until that point, the parents had total control of the child’s education. The fact that all the students become average by High School shows how effective the educational establishment is at creating equal outcomes.

They can only try to take God out of the classroom. Unfortunately, by trying to ignore Him (if not actively disrespecting Him), they are doing the kids more harm than good.
