57,000 children cut from Head Start due to sequestration

I ask all advocates to read the link below on the number of children cut from Head Start (57,000) from Head Start programs.

The first question that come to mind is are we as a nation truly thinking about the children in preparing them for the 21st century for a global society?  Then, I reflect on the teachers who have further their education to ensure the children are given a culturally developmentally age appropriate high-quality education. 

After reading the article, reflect on this quote from John F. Kennedy "Our progress as a nation can be no swifter than our progress in education.  The human mind is our fundamental resource".
