The news story that I first ran across

The actual transmission

While I think that married women should be trying to stay at home during the formative years of a child's life because I think day care and low grade babysitters aren't the best options, I do think these guys are totally out of touch with reality. They are talking about strengthing society by forcing mothers of HeadStart kids to become stay at home mothers. One of the commissioners says, "as we can strengthen marriage we can decrease the children that we have to reach..."
HeadStart kids have married parents? Outside of Boro Park? I mean, I'm sure some do, but my understanding is that HeadStart is minority women single mothers.
