Head Start was created 61 years ago because America recognized that waiting until kindergarten to address inequality is already too late.
This administration couldn’t defund it. So now they’re trying to gut the standards that make it work.
Please call your electeds 🔗 in bio for scripts. Protect Head Start. Our kids deserve the ladder 💜
