Bully Pulpit

The term "bully pulpit" stems from President Theodore Roosevelt's reference to the White House as a "bully pulpit," meaning a terrific platform from which to persuasively advocate an agenda. Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

Stokes children receiving high quality child care, state data says

(The Stokes News) - More families with young children have access to and are participating in high quality child care programs in Stokes County, according to data released by the North Carolina Partnership for Children.

NCPC leads the state Smart Start program and evaluates local and statewide progress annually. The latest data shows that Smart Start continues to improve the quality of child care in Stokes County, due to the efforts of the Stokes County Partnership for Children. According to the most recent data, the number of Stokes children enrolled in high quality child care (programs with 4 or 4 stars) has increased 59 percent since 2001, reflecting an improvement in child care quality and an increase in the number of children enrolled in high quality programs.

Cindy Tuttle, executive director of SPC, said Northwest Child Development “is a good example of child care programs dedicated to quality and coming up to Danbury is one of the greatest examples of wanting to serve kids where they are and provide quality.”

Good old Stokes County, marching to that Marxian tune. Marx said that it was essential to move toward an educational system that did two things:

Take control of children at an early age. He said the best time would be as soon as the child was weaned.

Provide a complete menu of child care, including health needs. Marx (and Bukharin after him) said that the public schools need to completely supplant the role of the parent in order to properly indoctrinate children into socialism/communism.

So all the good little bedroom mommies and daddies just hand over the kiddies so as not to be bothered with them. Then they both toddle off to their jobs so they can afford the SUVs, the big-screen TVs, and the beach vacations. They then have the temerity to be shocked when Johnny and Susy turn out to be drug-addled psychopaths or little Marxist droids.
