So important. If we would spend much more on what happens in the first years of life we’d spend much, much less on problems that develop later on.

The U.S. is an outlier in its low levels of financial support for young children’s care. Rich countries contribute an average of $14,000 per year for a toddler’s care, compared with $500 in the U.S. nyti.ms/3GgXjDA

Something about this centers around racism. In America, it is always centered around some form of racism, deception, & lies.

Keep cheering on this “build back better” garbage heap and this will get far, far worse. This is an emergency Marianne, and we need your voice. They’re poised to enslave us all. “You will own nothing and be happy” this will only get worse with these disastrous policies.

The paradox is that every American would want their child to have the best possible everything: food, health care, education…but we don’t necessarily want the best for other people’s children 😢

the numbers are slightly different when you look at state/local funding for education (because state/local is what funds education, not federal). but state/local funding for education is just another example of "separate but equal" segregation. we need to have more funding
