Bevin running mate Jenean Hampton says Head Start is for early "indoctrination"

Jenean Hampton, the running mate of Republican gubernatorial candidate Matt Bevin, said the federal early childhood education program known as Head Start is used to indoctrinate young children.

Head Start is a federal program providing 3 to 5 year old children from low income families with health and developmental screenings, meals and education services.

On the campaign trail in Jessamine County on Tuesday, Hampton told a group at a meet-and-greet in Nicholasville that the program essentially does not serve a purpose.

“I remember when Head Start began and it was just for low income, very low income kids because they were not getting at home the training they should have gotten,” Hampton said in response to a question. “That’s what that was for. But I suspect, I truly suspect that now it’s just being used to get the kids at an even earlier age and just start the indoctrination sooner. That’s my feelings.”

On Wednesday, Bevin campaign spokeswoman Jessica Ditto told Pure Politics that Hampton was “wrapping up a long day of campaigning and admits ‘indoctrination’ was not a good choice of words.”

“However, the rest of her response was in line with the campaign’s view that Head Start funding needs to be evaluated so that we are doing the very best in educating our early learners,” Ditto said in an emailed response.

The Bevin campaign included an email from an unidentified person they say asked Hampton the question at the meet-and-greet.

Maybe a "poor choice of words", but likely correct. What exactly is going on during the 6 hour school day that these additional "education" programs are needed?

Well, where else can they get up to speed on transgender bathrooms in time for grade school?

It was an absolutely correct choice of words. That is exactly why they can get away with all the PC Cr@p that our children are indoctrinated with, weak kneed advisers. Harumph.

Not just indoctrination but dependency as well. Got to train them early on how to eat from the trough.

That's about as controversial a statement as "The sun rises in the morning."

And it is for “group think”——for children to embed the “Fear” of disagreeing with the “group/adults” for mass conformity.

This “fear” is the greatest prison and most effective to create just emotional useful idiots......they don’t “teach” any of the true Classical Curricula which gives the tools and the foundation to “think” clearly.

They blur the Truth and destroy Virtue formation in children, and confuse the children (by irrational Common Core) so that they will “think” they are so dumb no matter if they are brilliant. They will make children so irrational, Up is Down, Boys are Girls and SLavery is Freedom——just little programmed, ignorant people who are incapable of abstract, profound thinking on the level of our Founders.

The evil Marxists need dummies for their “happy” slavery. They have been implementing the unconstitutional system of mass programming for a hundred years in the USA already. Common Core is total Marxist control of every mind in the public school system. Total dehumanization and destroying the ability to use Logic and Reason and learn autonomy and self-initiative and Virtues which take real life experiences and working inside the Natural Family.
