D.C. Bureaucrats Are Trying to Make Parents Get a License to Let Children Play Together

Let’s say you and some of your friends decide to gather your young children together a couple of days a week for a few hours of free play. Maybe you switch off who leads the gaggle of kids each week, allowing for some shared free time and flexibility. Sounds like a great arrangement for all, right? Your kids get to play freely with their friends, and you get some occasional free babysitting.

So a kid’s birthday party at a park or any public facility would need a license?

How can DC have an “Office of the State Superintendent of Education” when it is NOT A STATE?

“We don’t need a President-For-Life when we have a Bureaucracy-For-Life.”

Like politicians, bureaucrats should be term limited. Five years in one position/location, then transfer to another equal position (or earned promotion) elsewhere in the system. Keep them moving around so they can't establish their little fiefdoms. The cream will rise to the top as those smart, dedicated and flexible will have little trouble adjusting from a position at one bureau or another. The semi-able and useless (most of them) will out themselves and be "encouraged" to take early retirement.

Referring to the "Deep State", no doubt.
