WASHINGTON (AP) - Hillary Rodham Clinton is ready to propose a new federal plan that would offer high-quality preschool to every 4-year-old in America.
The Democratic presidential candidate says the universal Pre-K plan would cost about ten billion dollars. Speaking on NBC's "Today Show," she said evidence shows such preschool programs save money in the long run -- and that students have fewer behavioral problems and stay in school longer.
The New York senator says she'd pay for universal preschool by closing tax loopholes and eliminating Bush administration programs she disagrees with. The proposal would give federal funds to states that establish a plan for making voluntary pre-kindergarten services available for all.
She's presenting the proposal today at a Miami Beach elementary school.

VOUCHERS!
“offer?” . . how soon would “offer” become “make mandatory”?
I don't believe she is talking about "Mandatory" pre-school. The article does say it would be "offered".
But I don't trust her... one foot in the door... two feet on our necks... and that's probably next.
In China and the USSR it was called Young Pioneers, not pre-K.
Fit each 4-year-old with a red scarf and take them from their homes for the good of the state. Sounds sensible.
OFFERED, on the backs of TAXPAYERS!
I already pay more in School Taxes for a public school that fails miserably than I do to send my own child to a private school.. and thats on a 150k house!
Screw Hillary! Maybe if the government stopped handing out checks to crack addicts and lazy folk, they’d focus in on making sure their children got educated... instead they do nothing, value nothing and leave the rest of us stuck with the bill for their education and/or incarceration.
My sentiments exactly. Look at the trash we have to deal with on a day-to-day basis from public education, and expect the worst.
- - - and then pre-Pre K for all three year olds and then pre-pre-Pre K for all two year olds and then pre-pre-pre-Pre K for all one year olds and then - Wow! maybe they’ll stop slaughtering prenatals so they can put a school in there. Then the guvmint can have COMPLETE control of a whole generation!
Sorry I did a search. One on the title and one detailed. no hits.
This will be for the kids who did not get aborted...
We all know the Senator’s record on education. Also, I am surprised she has not lowered the age even futher.
Should we name this Hillary’s Royal Children?
This is a bid to destroy religious pre-schools.
This is more indoctrination by the left.
Just like this thread.
So how did An Inconvenient Truth become required classroom viewing?

The Mark Tucker "Dear Hillary" letterThe "Dear Hillary" letter, written on Nov. 11, 1992 by Marc Tucker, president of the National Center on Education and the Economy (NCEE), lays out a plan "to remold the entire American system" into "a seamless web that literally extends from cradle to grave and is the same system for everyone," coordinated by "a system of labor market boards at the local, state and federal levels" where curriculum and "job matching" will be handled by counselors "accessing the integrated computer-based program."
“Hillary’s (2000 Senate) campaign would never have succeeded without the open collusion of the liberal major media, which studiously ignored her misuse of the Secret Service and her profligate waste of taxpayer dollars for private ambition and which let her stage a campaign from soft, hospitable entertainment shows rather than from issues-oriented talk shows where she would have been systematically questioned and tested.” (Camille Paglia)
Expect the same for ‘08!
Hillary's most ardent dream. Tucked away in her hope chest is one of her fondest childhood school books:
