Flush with taxpayer cash from the federal government, state and local officials are rapidly transforming public schools into “full-service community schools” that will address far more than just “education.”
In fact, under the guise of caring for the “whole child,” these “community schools” are increasingly taking over the few remaining duties left over to parents — mental health, dental health, vision, nutrition, healthcare, social and emotional wellbeing, and more.
The plan is to get children into government hands earlier and earlier, too. The U.S. Department of Education boasted last year in a blog post that community schools will “support” students “from cradle to career,” something long considered the exclusive domain of parents.
