Education Alert: Universal Pre-K…Spending for Success?

In short, “No.”  President Obama’s push for massive federal spending on a universal pre-kindergarten program generated heated opposition over cost, government overreach and the questionable effectiveness of existing programs like Head Start.

But now this debate has landed on our front step. The South Carolina State Senate  is scheduled to vote early next week on Budget Proviso 1.83 that would create just such a program in SC.  This is the wrong choice for South Carolina’s hard-earned taxpayer education dollars.
