"The Head Start program had already been hit this year by layoffs and funding lags, along with a glitch this winter that briefly locked preschool providers out of their federal accounts.

The private and public schools that run Head Start classrooms are deeply reliant on federal money, and this year's funding problems have caused some preschools to close temporarily.

Those closures cut off child care for hundreds of thousands of low-income families, for whom a day without work is often a day without pay."

"The National Head Start Association said it was "deeply alarmed" by the administration's proposal to stop funding the six-decade-old program.

"It reflects a divestment in our future," said Yasmina Vinci, executive director of the NHSA, in a statement Thursday.

"Eliminating funding for Head Start would be catastrophic. It would be a direct attack on our nation's most at-risk children, their well-being, and their families."

Republicans could save more money by deporting these children directly to El Salvador... aka Phase Two.

Their abject servitude to the Oligarchs who bought Trump for Pres this year would be nauseating were it not so common.
