Our greatest natural resource is the brain of a child before the age of five. The most powerful thing we could do to turn America around over the next 20 years would be to massively front end our resources in the direction of prenatal and early childhood wellbeing and education.

Take one look at the state of affairs right now and it makes you wonder why we never stopped and did this already

Because 1) children aren’t old enough to vote so they form no constituency 2) they aren’t old enough to work so they have no financial leverage & 3) our political & economic systems were devised before women had a voice in the public sphere. We have one now & we need to speak up!

Not even close to that happening. Throwing some money at parents now. Of course, helpful but gov continually reminds me of abusive dynamics w/in a family designed to silence the “complainer.” Money, a gift, a yell, a fist which says get off my back/shut up-never meeting the need.

Mary wants to indoctrinate preschoolers with woke progressive ideology.

America stops caring about children once they're born. You treat your poor and disadvantaged like an occupied people. Funny that it's not the worst you do, nor even close to the worst done on Earth. Humans suck. Don't have a cowabunga, man. ♥️

right now we need to save them from being mass vaccinated against a virus that is 98.6 recoverable. Are you not aware that some of the greatest doctors on the planet are calling this state sanctioned child abuse?
Replying to @marwilliamson
Agreed! Lots of love, good nutrition, music, arts and foreign languages -and all for free for our littlest citizens!

Prenatal healthcare and nutrition is extremely important, along early child development.
