KTVB: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. directs closure of Head Start Regional Office that serves Idaho, Washington...

It seems that understaffing and stressing educational programs for children is another part of Project 2025. Trump must need to create more uneducated voters for the future of the MAGA GOP. This closure is to affect Alaska, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington.

They have no critical thinking skills.

That clown is the king of misrepresenting the results of "studies" that he cherry picks.

It's more than babysitting while parents work.

We gave credible education to preschoolers and kindergarteners.

We taught them social skills.

Because of our demographics of children, we taught at least 4-5 languages (Spanish, Mandarin, Patwa, International Sign Language).

We provided nutritional meals that they wouldn't get at home.

We gave them love and support and confidence.

Our Head Start got 4-5 students into private schools after Kindergarten.

There is no comparable entity where these kids can go if you close Head Start.
