Today, the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia dismissed a lawsuit challenging an Office of the State Superintendent of Education (OSSE) requirement that day care providers obtain a college degree before taking care of kids.
Ilumi Sanchez, a D.C. day care provider who has cared for dozens of children since 1995, challenged the requirement in 2018, along with a parent and another provider. Their lawsuit, in which they are represented by the Institute for Justice (IJ), alleged that the college-degree requirement imposed huge costs on day care workers without teaching them anything useful about caring for infants and toddlers. Initially adopted in 2016, the regulations still have not gone into effect, as D.C. officials have responded to the lawsuit by repeatedly delaying the effective date of the new rules and exempting certain sorts of workers (including Ilumi) from the requirements entirely.
“The fact that D.C. officials have spent the past half-decade slowly retreating from their disastrous rulemaking is pretty good evidence that the college-degree requirement was a bad idea in the first place,” concluded IJ Attorney Renée Flaherty. “But today’s ruling clears the way for D.C. officials to go forward with their initial plan to throw countless loving, experienced childcare providers out of work because they don’t have the right piece of paper to change a child’s diapers.”
The college-degree requirement would require day care providers to take advanced math classes or electives on Shakespeare, even though many of the city’s day care providers are immigrants who cannot afford college and may not speak English as a first language.

This is a time-tested technique for keeping cheap competition out of the workforce.
My grandfather did not speak English as a first language ...
So HE LEARNED ENGLISH. I guess he was smarter than these turkeys ...
The U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia needs to be eliminated entirely. They are as worthless as teats on a boar hog.
Bravo. The elites on the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia once again show how out of touch they are.
Time to abolish them.
The college-degree requirement would require day care providers to take advanced math classes or electives on Shakespeare,

And mandatory WOKE classes, I presume.
Don’t know the details, but is a 2-year Jr College degree a college degree?
Black establishment using the language barrier against hispanics.
That's part if it but also how can you be expected to teach the latest propaganda if you were never programed yourself.
A jobs program for all those University of DC grads who majored in gender oracle studies.
It’s odd really. Women have been looking after kids since the beginning of time. Virtually none of them had college degrees.
Soon they will require college degrees in order to have children.
Around 2010, I worked in the Pentagon, and we had this secretary who’d spent a full decade going to night school to get her bachelors degree from a DC area college. I regarded her as one of the dimmest individuals in the organization.
Once she completed the degree, she left and was a automatic hire for some city-run day-care operation. We shook our heads...a person with no known skills and what we considered to be a ‘fake’ degree. I felt sorry for the kids who’d have to deal with her.
“Women have been looking after kids since the beginning of time.”
We had maids when I was a kid. Black ladies. I loved them. Today I’d rather have an “un-educated maid” for my kids than a college graduate.
Good point.
So how many hours of gender studies, CRT and Marxist economics will be required in order to change diapers?
What will happen when the patricians of DC can’t find a caregiver for their child? A background check, a psychological examine and some first aid training are all that are necessary to take care of children in a well supervised group environment. Other skills or interests may be a bonus.
Republicans need to be pounding the table over this overregulation. It’s a great issue for them.
...the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia dismissed a lawsuit challenging an Office of the State Superintendent of Education (OSSE) requirement that day care providers obtain a college degree before taking care of kids... Ilumi Sanchez, a D.C. day care provider who has cared for dozens of children since 1995, challenged the requirement in 2018... represented by the Institute for Justice (IJ)...
Then there is the view that, given the Marxist indoctrination basis for all college education over the past 40 years, no one with a college degree should be allowed to care for children not their own...
