"SNIP......

Minnesota state Rep. Steve Drazkowski (R) argued for abolishing early childhood education, WCPT reports.

Said Drazkowski: “We should let parents raise their kids until they’re 5 at least before government comes with a school bus, backs it up to the maternity ward room door and takes them to the government school.”

1. Must have read the results of the Quebec free childcare study that says

free childcare pays for itself with increased government revenue and employed career women, not to mention children who are more well adjusted. All things the GOP is against.

2. "until they're 5 at least before government comes with a school bus"

Isn't that what it already is in many states?

3. The GOP wants to put all US assets in their pocket.

No funding for services that benefit people.

Like in Russia.

5. They got to keep

upping the ante

It's sort of like drug addiction- they get high on doing this stuff and over time they need to do more and more bad stuff to maintain the high. That and, of course, keeping the rubes voting for them.

7. This is crazy!

The benefits of early childhood education are indisputable for better education outcomes and lower government costs over the long term.
