Jabari Brisport, Chair of the Committee on Children & Families and former public-school teacher, released the following statement in response to President Trump’s mass layoffs at Head Start – one of America’s most important child care programs: \n\n“Perhaps no president in American history has demonstrated this much open contempt for working-class people.  \n\nIf you want to trap a child in generational poverty, dismantling the Head Start program is possibly the single most effective way to accomplish that. It is a program specifically designed to ensure children from low-income families don’t enter school already years behind their classmates. As a former public-school teacher, I’ve seen how hard it is for children to ever catch up when they have to come from behind.  \n\nThis move will also ensure that countless working-class families, who have been fighting to get back on their feet after the pandemic, will suddenly have their legs kicked out from under them. With these programs closing – while we already have so little child care availability – many parents will be unable to find new child care quickly enough to keep their jobs.  \n\nPresident Trump is attacking the 60-year-old Head Start program because as much as he hates poor people – he loves poverty”",
