Spurred on by allegations of financial abuse, four House and Senate leaders have asked government auditors to examine the Head Start preschool program before Congress moves to reauthorize the program.

In a letter to the General Accounting Office, the Republican leaders of four congressional education panels requested a review of the procedures Head Start uses to monitor its agencies around the country.

"The Head Start establishment has a growing credibility problem," said Rep. John Boehner, chairman of the House education committee. "The information in this report will help teachers, parents and taxpayers know the extent of the problem and should ultimately help Congress agree on some solution."

This isn't about abuse, this is just another way for the Thugs to cut funding from the poor to pay for their pork projects. Why is their always 'fraud' in programs that help those who need it the most? The 'solution' these scum want is to yank the safety net off of the poor, nothing more.

1. Republicans are behind the audits of teacher unions and now they're

auditing Head Start. They set the precedent. I say any private school or church that takes government money should be subjected to a full audit. Fair is fair.
