O Imperium do Estado sobre todas as coisas

"Universal preschool" is anti-child, anti-parent, anti-taxpayer, and anti-freedom. Article by Wendy McElroy.

(...) Some universal preschool proposals call for mandatory attendance.

(...) Such demeaning views of parenthood only heighten fears of compulsory attendance even in proposals that are currently voluntary. Such fear is stoked by a raging debate in the U.K. over a bill based on research by its Department of Education. The bill would require children to enter a government program of supervision and education from birth.

This is the great danger: the presumption that government can raise children better than parents. If universal preschool is voluntary, then it may merely create another massive and ultra-expensive bureaucracy that accomplishes little.

If it is compulsory, then universal preschool will extend the government's usurpation of parenthood so that all 3- and 4-year-olds are under state supervision."
