I'm actually not sure what's causing any pandemonium about this. Head Start, early childhood education, free meals, healthcare, child tax credits - all keep kids in school and learning, which has a measurable impact in shrinking the school to prison pipeline.
I must have missed something... sorry.
Ah, my bad. These days "causing pandemonium" usually means "alt-Reich dipshits out dipshitting" I figured someone had found something to be upset about with you know, food or school or children. 🤣
