DC Mandates College Degrees For Daycare Workers

Posted on by

“‘Outrageous and tone deaf.’ ‘Madness.’ ‘Completely counterproductive and wrong-headed.’  And that’s just within the first few of more than 400 pages of comments submitted by residents of Washington, D.C., a city where child care costs are already some of the highest in the country, in response to an onerous new licensing requirement for daycare workers. The Office of the State Superintendent for Education (OSSE), which regulates daycares and early childhood education programs in the nation’s capital, last year passed a rule requiring all daycare workers to have a college degree by 2020.”

“The video then shows the woman on the floor in the hallway, where she is being handcuffed behind the back by the marshal. The marshal asks the teacher to ‘stop resisting’ and escorts her from the building.  Outside the building, the marshal tells her she is being arrested for refusing to leave and resisting arrest.  Fontana, the board president, told NBC News that Hargrave had violated meeting policies, by taking up extra time and asking questions during a public comment section.”

Posted on by

Millennials Get It Wrong about Socialism

Posted on by

“I’m left to conclude that they have no appreciation for how socialism actually works in the real world.  The economic track record of socialism is as dismal as its human rights record. But we need not direct Millennials to history books to see it. They need only look at what has happened to former socialist countries during their own lifetimes, as these countries have moved away from socialism and towards capitalism.”

California Criminalizes Teaching Trade Skills To Dropouts

Posted on by

“A recent California law is requiring that trade schools like Bob’s deny admission to any student who has not completed high school or a state-approved equivalent.

When Unpaid Student Loan Bills Mean Being Banned From Working

Posted on by

“Blocking licenses is a more aggressive weapon, and states are using it on behalf of themselves and the federal government.  Proponents of the little-known state licensing laws say they are in taxpayers’ interest. But critics from both parties say the laws shove some borrowers off a financial cliff.”
