They are stealing funds from children that could be used to improve nutrition and learning outcomes through smaller class sizes, early intervention, and nursery school programs. They pay these early childhood caregivers and support staff a minimal amount. They would make more money working at Walmart. One of my parents is a Walmart manager, and she said employee theft at her location (Mostly teens) was over 1 million dollars that year. Teach children ethics and economics. Teach them how to live as responsible citizens. Lord, I could go on. When you see the government stealing what makes anyone give a damn.
