FRC: Universal Preschool Leads To Socialist, Atheist Indoctrination

The Family Research Council is very upset about Democratic efforts to invest in early education, and is particularly peeved that Nancy Pelosi suggested that preschool “frees parents to earn without carrying the burden of childcare.”

On yesterday’s edition of Washington Watch, the FRC’s Tony Perkins and Anna Higgins FRC discussed the supposed dangers of universal pre-K. The two falsely claimed that such plans would compel parents to put their kids into preschool, which they argued would undermine family structures, particularly the role of women in the family.

“We know that this is the opposite of supporting families,” Higgins said of preschool. “Nothing good can come of regulating familial responsibility to the government. It seems to be the running theme of liberals and pro-abortion feminists that it’s children that are holding women back from actually succeeding in society and in the workforce.”

Perkins claimed that universal pre-k is “part of socialism” and “government indoctrination from the cradle to the grave.” “The USSR had lots of universal care for children and the reasoning behind that was so that they could instill atheism in the children,” Higgins added.
