For 60 years, all families across the United States, including in Vermont, have had access to Head Start, a federally funded preschool program that has become a national model for positive early learning, health and nutrition outcomes.

On July 10, however, the Trump administration announced the program will require immigration status verification, a new restriction that could affect scores of families enrolled across Vermont.

“Fundamentally, Head Start programs believe in meeting the needs of all children so they can thrive in adulthood. Head Start programs strive to make every child feel welcome, safe, and supported, and reject the characterization of any child as ‘illegal,’” Christy Swenson, director of Head Start in Vermont, wrote in an email.

If it were to be judged on American statistics, it's outcomes would say it has made generations of obese, drug abusive, violent, entitled, unpatriotic, self=centered, deprived of Constitutional educations, and lacking problem solving skills.  Maybe it would be better gone.
