The suit alleges the executive branch has disregarded congressional budget extensions, which had allocated funding to the programs through September, as well as the Head Start Act, which has required the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to allocate at least as much funding for Head Start programs as the year before. About 8,700 Illinois residents are employed by the program statewide, according to the suit, serving approximately 28,000 kids across 600 centers.
Head start is a good program. But what’s the point when K-12 schools don’t teach?

Once an entitlement program has begun, good luck getting it discontinued as more and more people that thrive on handouts glom onto it, more staff is needed and the costs spiral through the roof. Head Start has been around for a long time now, and I fail to see how it made any children healthier or academically better for the most part. One look at diabetic 12 year olds and kids that can’t read or write at their grade level upon graduation tells us that.
