| #17 I keep remembering that recent UK demand that schools report on whether parents were reading the correct number and type of books to their kids ..... OTOH, a more sobering read about minority youth at risk, especially some black boys. A recent program in NY found black boys as young as 7 who were already deliberately flunking science and reading in order to fit in with the older black boys in their neighborhoods. The prognosis for them being able to get decent jobs or stay out of jail is pretty slim without some strong and early influence in other directions. I don't trust any program organized by Hitlery, tho. |

| #16 Perhaps as a shelter/Head Start program for at-risk children, Danielle, but not otherwise. According to my mother, whose specialty is early child development (among other things, but that gets complicated), my sister and I were happy to go to pre-school at age three, but my two brothers weren't ready to separate from her until they were at least a year older. If preschool is nationalized, the next step will be to make it required, then formalize and standardize the curriculum, and we'll end up with something terribly inappropriate for little people who should be spending that time learning mainly through self-directed play. |

| #15 The Clinton Youth? Doesn't have a ring to it. But I'll bet they'd have nice uniforms... |

| #14 As much as I hate to say it, I think she is right on this one. Half of our kids are in single parent homes and even married households struggle to help kids with homework and use TV as a babysitter. The early years are the most important for cognitive development and costs less than remedial care. My bipolar niece is not meant to have a child but you can't send them back. Her ADHD son was picked up by bus and transported to an old elementary no longer needed, where he had activity, supervision, and learning opportunities with other children rather than be ignored and yelled at. It is also a good alternative for daycare and provides employment for preschool teachers. As a bonus, social services checked on them and they had a couple of meals. It is a lot cheaper than incarceration in the long run to support struggling families. |

| #10 Meathead Reiners same prop C passed '06 in Colorado, and so far, the 'study' group has only $12M tax money from that boondoggle and won't be able to (maybe) start the program until 9/08. Must be waiting for Fed $'s and Hillary ribbon cutting. |

| #9 Come now they can brainwash our kids unless they have a National Program. This worked very well in Nazi Germany little Kinders in one door and good little Nazi out the other. Hopefully, before November 2008, everyone will see the current crop of Donks as what they truely are Socialists with a lean toward Nationalism. |

| #7 It wasn't Carl Reiner, it was his son, Meathead... |

| #6 Nationalize preschools? Bah! Enough of these halfway measures. Why not simply raise our young in vats of nutrient solution until they are old enought for the education camps? Question: is it possible for Hillary to become even creepier than this? |

| #5 Carl Reiner tried to do this through referendum in Calfornia. It was crushed at the polls. |

| #4 Reminds me of this story: Atlee ran into Churchill at the urinal in the House of Common's men's room. Churchill stood as far away from Atlee as possible. "Feeling standoffish today, Winston?" said Atlee. Replied Churchill: "That's right. Every time you see something big, you want to nationalize it." |
