Pre-Kindergarten Programs gets Hued in Politics

Huge amount of politics is prevailing between the Democratic governors positioning herself as the champion of education against the Republican Legislature bent on controlling government spending in North Carolina's pre-kindergarten education program.
Wake County Superior Court Judge claims that state will not deny any eligible 4-year-old admission to the North Carolina Pre-Kindergarten Program. The judge is attempting to legislate from the bench by forcing the Legislature to finance the pre-kindergarten program.
State constitution mandates a free public education for its citizens but nothing is clear on pre-kindergarten program. The judge and the governor are creating yet another entitlement with eligibility based on family earnings, a child's disabilities or health, the language spoken at home, or parents' military service.
The state needs to get in behind the pre-kindergarten program as the parents are not getting their kids ready for school.
