Even The Left Questions Reiner’s Socialized Preschool Scheme

Preschool Initiative's Misguided Approach
By Michael Hiltzik, Los Angeles Times

Considering how hard it is to find prominent individuals with a selfless impulse toward public service, we shouldn't begrudge the film director Rob Reiner his efforts to expand preschool education in California.

But that's not to say that Reiner's Preschool for All initiative, which will appear on the June ballot as a constitutional amendment, is a good idea. On the contrary, it's another attempt at ballot-box budgeting featuring misleading PR and misguided pied-piper appeal.

I’ve posted several columns on OAF Blog concerning the socialized preschool initiative, for your reference they are:
