Incoming Gov. Gavin Newsom to Propose Almost $2 Billion for Early Childhood Programs
KTLA ^ | 01/02/2019

Posted on 01/02/2019 7:39:43 AM PST by BenLurkin

The spending would boost programs designed to ensure children enter kindergarten prepared to learn, closing what some researchers have called the “readiness gap” that exists based on a family’s income. It would also phase in an expansion of prekindergarten, and offer money to help school districts that don’t have facilities for full-day kindergarten.

“The fact that he’s making significant investments with his opening budget is really exciting,” Ted Lempert, president of the Bay Area-based nonprofit Children Now, said Tuesday. “What’s exciting is the comprehensiveness of it, because it’s saying we’re going to focus on prenatal through age 5.”

Isn’t this the parents responsibility?

The states of California, Illinois, New York and New Jersey are financial, non sustainable disasters. The Democrats who run them are immature lunatics. Somehow the rest of the country needs to be isolated from their irresponsibility. They must go bankrupt however painful.

The all-knowing all-powerful state overrides and absolves parental responsibility.

Your job is to accept that.

We failed the state by home educating our children and raising them to be strong and independent.

I’ll call them today and tell them to quit their jobs and sign up for welfare.

Gimme gimme gimme. That’s what it’s all about. Slug politicians spending other people’s money. That’s what communists do, right?

These maniacs want total control over people’s lives.

Check out this evil “opinion” column....

“Newsom should think beyond preschool, build home visitation program for infants”
https://www.sacbee.com/opinion/california-forum/article223695075.html

To sum up - government should be entering every home and supervising the parenting.

“Readiness gap” = IQ gap in large measure, IMHO

The “Evil Twump Coloring Books” aren’t that expensive, but the kickbacks to the SEIU for handing them out are brutal. :)

"The state is embarking on a pilot home-visiting program through CalWorks starting this month. It’s going to skip a lot of families who could benefit, but there’s wisdom in starting slowly and assessing carefully before expanding."

Translating this from the Sacbee article....

"The state needs to determine how far they can push these families, so that social workers don't end up dead"
