"The campaign for universal preschool education in the United States has gained great momentum. Precisely as strategists intended,many Americans have come to believe that pre-kindergarten is a good and necessary thing for government to provide, even that not providing it will cruelly deprive our youngest residents of their birthrights, blight their educational futures, and dim their life prospects.Yet a troubling contradiction bordering on dishonesty casts a shadow over today’smighty push for universal pre-Keducation inAmerica."
Chester E. Finn Jr. is President of the Thomas B. Fordham Foundation, Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution, and Senior Editor at Education Next.
