Full-Day Kindergarten: A Rebuttal

  • 9 Comments
  • by: Colorado Pols

Former Colorado Sen. Dave Schultheis of Colorado Springs regularly made headlines during his time in office in the finest blowhard tradition since upheld by such intellectual successors as Gordon “Dr. Chaps” Klingenschmitt, pistol-packing Rep. Lori Saine, and don’t even get Sen. Vicki Marble started! It was Sen. Schultheis who warned darkly back in 2009 that President Barack Obama was “flying the U.S. plane into the ground at full speed” 9/11 style, invoking the Flight 93 battle cry “Let’s Roll”–not long after he said he hoped babies would get AIDS to teach their slutty moms a lesson.

Anyway, former Sen. Schultheis has views about this year’s priority funding for full-day kindergarten, a campaign promise by Gov. Jared Polis that in the end passed with overwhelming bipartisan support. And the bipartisan full-day-K kumbaya isn’t fooling Dave Schultheis, indeed not patriots:

That’s right, moms! The fact is that you have too much “free time” already and really should be spending it at home taking care of children instead. After all they’re just going to get “indoctrinated,” you know, in kindergarten. Though apparently half-day “indoctrination” is okay? It’s not the most coherent argument but it’s clear he’s really suspicious of what they teach kids in kindergarten and wants to minimize exposure.

You’re laughing, but you probably shouldn’t. Instead, consider how much of the Republican base Schultheis speaks for. From vaccines to the unhinged misinformation that circulated freely about the sex ed bill–here’s looking at you, Anus Fisting Granny–there’s a whole Dave Schultheis wing of today’s Republican party. And although Schultheis himself is in retirement, their influence within the GOP coalition has only grown in the Trump years. It is not a stretch to suggest that the co-occurrence of people who want to recall Democrats from Gov. Polis on down over their “perverted” sex ed bill and those who agree (or at least would agree) with Dave Schultheis about the threat of “indoctrination” posed by full-day kindergarten is very high or even total.

It’s all fun and games until the fringe gathers enough signatures.

  1. In other (near) Nanny State news, will this madness ever stop?  STFU and eat your high fructose corn syrup, junior! 

    Obama-produced kids' show on healthy eating to hit Netflix

    During her eight years in the White House, former first lady Michelle passionately advocated for fighting childhood obesity among America’s youth through her Let’s Move campaign. Her efforts included planting vegetables in the White House garden, providing healthier school lunch options and encouraging exercise at all ages and stages of life.

  2. Schultheis is still breathing? I would have thought he'd have been poisoned by all the bile he spits at those who don't measure up to his standards of purity, or religion or whatever he calls it.

  3. I'm not laughing.
     

     

    I didn't go to kindergarten and I was ok.
    I did
    n't …
    … wear a seat belt, and I was ok
    … own a cell phone
    … need a student loan
    … get a vaccine
    … need no stinking insurance
    … etc etc etc

    I am not laughing.
