Saying that too many of our children are ill-prepared for the world of the future, President Obama urged Congress to enact federal funding for pre-schools.
“We need to replace the idiosyncratic influences of our ‘do-it-yourself’ methods of child rearing with a more cohesive approach,” the President said. “Leaving so much of the responsibility on each individual family is a formula for chaos. Different parents seek to instill different value systems. The result is that clashes of these value systems impede coordinated progress toward the collective well-being of all.”
“In addition to providing an environment for the inculcation of better values, a federally-funded pre-school program would alleviate a significant amount of parental suffering,” Obama added. “Having a place to ship your four-year-old off to each day for a few hours gives the parents extra free time they can spend on more satisfying pursuits while their child is under the capable care and instruction of trained education professionals.”
Future Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif) endorsed the President’s proposal pointing out that “as Melissa Harris-Perry said on TV the other day, we’ve got to get past the notion that children belong to their parents. Children belong to the community. China understands this and has been pursuing an even more aggressive intervention with its children in order to ensure that a more uniform system of rearing the young contributes to a stronger and more unified nation. We need to get moving if we are to keep pace.”

First to not point out the obvious ;-)
“If you can’t kill ‘em (through abortion), control ‘em”. - Secret Commie DemocRAT motto.
Of course he wants this. More government jobs for the teachers unions equals more votes for the democratic party.
$17 trillion in debt
and now more spending?
aren’t we broke?
Go to HELL you Marxist faggot! I'll raise my kids how I damn well feel. You can go fellate yourself!
This is COMMIE TALK!!: "Leaving so much of the responsibility on each individual family is a formula for chaos. Different parents seek to instill different value systems. The result is that clashes of these value systems impede coordinated progress toward the collective well-being of all."
Ooops, I omitted: Election 2012 (”War on Women”).. Sniff, sniff.
First the libs said that if we just could get them all in kindergarten, then education would improve. We did and it didn’t. Then they said if we could just get them in pre-k then education would improve. We did and it didn’t.
Now Obama wants the feds to be there to catch them when they emerge from the birth canal, then education will improve. It won’t and we shouldn’t.
The feds control Headstart, and a study commissioned by HHS proves that it is a costly failure that accomplishes nothing. The article is here:

We should abolish the Department of Education and give all its funds to the states. The word education does not appear anywhere in the Constitution. It is all about power, money and votes.
Yeah, we are...but haven’t you heard? It’s for the childrens.
I believe the term for this is :brainwashing.
Whatever happened to celebrating diversity? Now they are saying that we all need to be inculcated with the same cultural values so that we won’t resist the direction the statists have chosen????
This crap raises my blood pressure even if it is semi-satire or whatever.
Back before the Carter years, when Daddy worked and Mommy raised the kids (and taught them as much or more as any preschool), that worked pretty well--and it didn't require any Federal Funding...
But isn't that what the very high unemployment rate already does?
Read all the way to the end and missed noticing where the satire kicked in.
I'm still looking for it.... it all reads too true....
Damn, you're good, John. :)
Well, as long as they’re educated by the collective.
The irony is is that the people who you affront thinks it is an affront.
Another good one John. Enjoyed as usual.
