Those who want government bureaucrats and school unions—not parents—in charge of what children are taught have been quietly busy. They are slipping in a government takeover of day care and preschool into the reckless spending bill.

Infrastructure Bill May Pave Way for Cradle-to-Grave Gov't

Late last week, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a $1.2 trillion infrastructure spending bill. This legislation paves the way for massive federal spending that will fuel inflation, discourage work, and hand Washington more control over household decisions.
