What these programs actually offer kids is a safe, regular, clean, structured environment to get them out of the extreme chaos that is their home life. These kids’ “homes” are sleeping on a different floor every night, loud nasty rap music, occasional food items, not real meals, cursing and fighting, beating, trash, filth, drinking and drugging. A preschool and a regular schedule is a lifeline.

Kids in this situaion need to be placed in orphanages, civilized and trained to be useful citizens. Not left in tragic, uncared-for dysregulated situations.
And they bring those learned cultural behaviors into the school and pollute the efforts of the few families left who are trying to properly raise their kids. No thanks.
RE: #3:
So. In order to save those who are disadvantaged by having utterly worthless parents, you endorse forcing those who come from caring households to waste another year of their young lives exposed to hopeless cases.
Give them breakfast, lunch and, yes, even dinner.
How about yanking them out of their dysfunctional homes, sterilizing their parents and placing them in orphanages?
It makes just as much sense as creating another federally edicted year of schooling .
It becomes clear as to which side of the line you stand.
I smell a socialist.
