Quote for the Day:
An honest commitment to children means special attention to them in the critical early years of their lives. We need a national commitment equivalent to the efforts to build our vast network of federal highways, to the moon shot, or to the GI Bill – the very best developmental child care supported in every community in our country. The federal dollars would support community-based programs. This is where the federal government could be and should be a real player – investing money in pre-kindergarten education. To date, our response has been pathetic. The proposition that our country, with all its affluence, in a time of record economic performance, cannot afford to help children during these critical early years is unacceptable.
