NYC mayor announces plan for free preschool for 3-year-olds
WISH ^ | April 30, 2017 | Associated Press

NEW YORK (AP) — Free preschool for 4-year-olds was a signature issue that helped New York City’s mayor win office in 2013.

Now up for re-election, Bill de Blasio wants to add thousands of classroom seats for 3-year-olds, too.

His initiative, which could eventually enroll up to 62,000 kids, would be among the largest public investments in preschool in the United States for children that young.

A few states, including Florida and Oklahoma, have universal, publicly funded pre-K for 4-year-olds, but such programs for 3-year-olds are much more rare.

Education advocates said the plan announced last week by de Blasio, a Democrat, could be a national model if it succeeds.

Free baby sitting and "mind altering" all rolled into one.

I can remember the USA screaming when Russia proposed a program for 3 year olds MANY years ago.

Contacted for their perspective on this, all three year olds said they planned to vote for him in upcoming elections.

In addition, they said, "Free preeschools for every three year old. Very cool!"

When it was explained this wasn't about free pools, 92% of them started crying and couldn't be consoled.

Yep. Just like Lenin, only Lenin originally took them at 9 months but that made the children so feral and unmanageable when children that they had to up the age to two......Hmmmmm. First thing Lenin did was put women in the workforce so the State could have and shape the minds of ALL the masses (Pavlov knew Lenin). Had to destroy the Christian concept of complementary aspect of male and female (truth/reason/common sense—all Natural instincts).

Indivdiualism and free will will not form in “group-(non)-think” factories which is why we “think” boys and girls are interchangeable now-—exactly the same, just as Marx wanted so he could eliminate the concept of mother and father in little children to destroy marriage for total dehumanization (making of programmed “bots” for the State like in Brave New World).

Read that and 1984 to see what the State does when they control and warp the worldview and desires of the little children.

Homeschool-—at least til 8 years old—like all the Founders who only went to “skool” for maximum of 4 or 5 years and were WAY more literate and had WAY more Common Sense than todays brainwashed, ignorant graduates who literally call men “women” now or whatever irrational pronoun they think up.

Brave New World-—minds-—just like the computers......might as well CHIP the minds of your children if you allow the State to use their psychological garbage (curricula) on their brains.

Research Fichte 1810, Free Will “snow is black” to see what the STATE did to the minds of ALL Swedish children-—and most Europeans who are allowing suicide of their nation.

This is ALL planned. John Dewey KNEW that he was going to destroy the Christian (rational) worldview—to create ignorant useful idiots and destroy the integration of the brain (all common Sense). Get you children OUT of these evil dehumanization systems.

Only Classical Christian curricula should be allowed—that which gave the tools for “thinking” and created the Age of Reason and Renaissance and the US Constitution—most brilliant, rational “Justice”(virtue) system in history only based on Christian virtues. Only Christianity ended Slavery as a “good” and pederasty, sodomy, incest, etc., all allowed in the Koran and the Talmud.

There is ONLY one worldview which is about EQUAL under the Law-—no other tribal, collective groups allow for individualism and free will—Christian concepts only.

Ya gotta git ‘em early if you are going to convince them to change genders. Every intelligent person I’ve ever heard talk on the subject is that a person is what they are going to be by the time they reach the age of five.

Jesus needs to come early because in 20 years or less the generation that loves Him will be gone . . . the last Christian generation.

De Blasio said the city will spend $177 million annually on the program by 2021, but will need another $700 million from the state and federal governments to fully fund the classes.

Asked if it was realistic to count on state and federal funds, de Blasio said he did not want to be “held back by our current reality.”

"Did not want to be held back by our current reality". Since when has this imbecile been constrained by ANY logic or reality? He has his Commie agenda in his hand and he never looks up from it to check reality. It is embarrassing to have this nitwit for a mayor and downright scary to contemplate that he is controlling the city schools, budget, legislation, etc. "2001: A Space Odyssey" has nothing on NYC, with DeBlASSio as Hal, the renegade computer.

All he wants to do is to provide free babysitting AND commie/dem indoctrination so he can score points with illegals (his favorite constituents) and do-nothing baby mamas, providing them a place to store and feed their spawn at taxpayer expense while they now have free time to go enjoy themselves.

So you can teach them that gay is nice? So you can point them to a “sex change” therapist if they play a lot with the other sex? So you can teach them to hate the Judeo-Christian foundations of this country?

You would think the benefit for free preschool would allow the single and low income mothers the ability to go out and get a job, this is just more free time to not be a parent and let the village care for thier offspring. Another rat program to continue the city rot, put the money in and get nothing in return

Head Start is already free pre school and that goes back to the 60s. He’s probably only offering free pre school to people who don’t qualify for Head Start.

Going back to at least the 60s people knew that Blacks arrive at kindergarten one year behind whites. Head Start was supposed to fix that. It works in a way but by 12 the Head Start Black kids have come back down to the Black average. But pre school programs which have academic instruction, unlike Head Start, produce a life long improvement for Blacks in everything that matters. Crime, education, income, etc.

But if you say that academic instruction matters then you are saying that child rearing practices matter. If you say that you are saying culture influences success and that is taboo.

Free? I don’t think so. Taxpayers will need to pick up the tab.
