David Hedrick, with the rant of the week! Private citizens at Health Care Town Hall Meetings are still going strong!
David Hedrick gets straight to the point. This is two minutes you won't forget.
At the very beginning David is talking about mandatory government preschool.

Focus on Early Childhood Education
The years before a child reaches kindergarten are among the most critical in his or her life to influence learning. President Obama is committed to providing the support that our youngest children need to prepare to succeed later in school. The President supports a seamless and comprehensive set of services and support for children, from birth through age 5. Because the President is committed to helping all children succeed – regardless of where they spend their day – he will urge states to impose high standards across all publicly funded early learning settings, develop new programs to improve opportunities and outcomes, engage parents in their child’s early learning and development, and improve the early education workforce.
I happen to agree with the following.

'Preschool is socially unnatural. By taking young children away from their source of power – mother – and putting them together in a group of similar ages (unable to help each other), we render them helpless. In this impossible and unnatural setting, they fail to socialize on their own and depend on adult control to be able to function and stay safe. Such experience teaches the child to see herself as socially failing and dependent on authority.
...home, play, music, dance, art, books and Nature are all she needs; expose her to what you love and what she shows interest in, and don’t impose any teaching.'
I'm no child expert, but I believe that taking children and placing them in odd situations is never a good thing. How can anyone argue that it is better for children, in general, to be placed in the care of anyone other than their actual mother and father? Other than teaching the child at an early age to trust people other than his or her parents, what good can mandatory preschool accomplish?
Hedrick gets to the heart of the argument. The true argument is philosophical.
The government has absolutely NO BUSINESS telling parents what to do with their children!
The government has absolutely NO BUSINESS telling people what they can and can't do with respect to their health care!
Government is attempting to step outside its bounds in too many areas. Those boundaries are set by the Constitution of The United States. Do these politicians have any respect for the Constitution? As Hedrick pointed out, they too took an oath to protect the Constitution.
