<\/a>Self-reliance, Private Sector, and Churches simply better at teaching Kids, they say<\/strong><\/p>

From Eric Dondero:<\/p>

An unbelievably nasty controversy has emerged in Frederick County, Maryland, after two Republican County Commissioners voted in favor of cutting the Head Start budget by 50%. They had the audacity of suggesting private alternatives to raising kids. <\/p>

From (Maryland Community News) Gazette.net<\/a>:<\/p>

Frederick County has been in an uproar this past week over the meaning behind comments made by Commissioners C. Paul Smith (photo) and Kirby Delauter during a meeting in which they voted to pull $2.3 million in county funding from Head Start.<\/p>

<\/a>The commissioners argued that the cut would help fill a nearly $12 million budget gap in fiscal 2012, which starts July 1.<\/p>

In explaining their votes, both men espoused the virtue of marriage and praised their wives for staying home to raise their children.<\/p><\/blockquote>

Commisioner Smith remarked:<\/p>

\"I know everybody isn't able to survive doing that, but clearly as we can strengthen marriage, we can decrease the children that we have to reach. And I think the best approach, ultimately, will be through the private sector, churches, in doing this.\"<\/p><\/blockquote>

Commissioner Delauter:<\/p>

\"I agree, again, with Commissioner Smith. You know, the marriage thing is very important. I mean, education of your kids starts at home, OK?\"<\/p><\/blockquote>

Commissioner Smith again:<\/p>

\"I never relied on anyone else to guarantee the education of my kids. I was, my wife and I are the ultimate decision makers on the education of our kids.\"<\/p><\/blockquote>

Maryland Left blogs and news sites are in a feeding frenzy over the statements. <\/p>

Sample of reactions from ProgressiveDelMarVa<\/a>:<\/p>

these two Republican officials feel its appropriate to cut the program in order to foist their chosen family structure onto society at-large, and in the process, hurt low-income families and the futures of their children in Frederick County.<\/p><\/blockquote>

Note - Frederick County lies northwest of Baltimore.<\/p>
