EXCLUSIVE: Federal Education Program Head Start Warned Teachers About Racist Babies, Made Old MacDonald Trans
A new report from the Functional Government Initiative (FGI) reveals just how deeply woke ideology has permeated Head Start, a government program that provides education and other services to children three to five. Head Start held webinars for teachers on “anti-bias and anti-racism strategies Head Start programs can use in their practices, services, and systems.”
One webinar warned that even infants “discriminate between faces by race” and that “babies can categorize people by gender and race.”
Head Start also embraced transgender ideology, referring to pregnant women as “birthing parents” and “pregnant people” in social media posts. The program also proposed ways to make activities for children “more inclusive,” including by changing the lyrics to “Old MacDonald Had A Farm.”
“Old MacDonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O And on that farm he/she/they had a pig, E-I-E-I-O,” the updated lyrics read.
Related: Head Start’s long been known to be nothing but an employment program for otherwise-unemployable inner city mothers and, above them, education majors/baristas/fry flippers. And for just as long, it has been known that the program achieves nothing except provide paychecks to those people.
AI Prompt: Do Head Start benefits disappear in later grades?
While Head Start participation benefited children’s learning and development during their time in the federally funded preschool program, those advantages had mostly vanished by the end of 3rd grade 1. Research has demonstrated that federal Head Start centers, which provide preschool care to children from low-income families, have little or no long-term academic value for children 2. Recently released results from the Head Start Impact Study indicate that the benefits of participating in Head Start almost completely disappear by first grade3. If Head Start children are more advanced when they enter kindergarten, schools may divert resources to their less-prepared peers. As those peers catch up, the visible benefits of Head Start would diminish 4. Convincing evidence regarding Head Start’s long-term effects has remained even more elusive, thanks to the lack of program randomization in its early years, small sample sizes of longitudinal surveys, and the difficulty of measuring adults’ access to Head Start decades ago 5.
