The Crisis of the American Family
by Dr. Laura Schlessinger
www.newsmax.com, August 2000
|
Newspapers, televisions and the Internet give
space to other potential shoddy and potential dangerous studies, especially
those purporting to demonstrate that institutions can love and nurture
children as well as their parents can. One day on the air, I was
particularly smart-alecky, and a woman said that "daycare
is just as good as my mothering.” I said, "then your husband can be
serviced just as well in a whorehouse.” If you think about it, it’s a
very good parallel.
Excerpts from Dr. Laura's
speech for the Claremont Institute.

The Crisis of the American Family
by Dr. Laura Schlessinger

(In an article titled) "Familiarity Breeds
Contentment;” the Boston Herald reassured parents that their children’s
distress at being left at day care would subside as it became routine. It is
also true if you sit in a hot tub and slowly increase the temperature; you
will poach before you are aware the temperature has gone up. You can get
used to anything.

Al Gore's 'going out of business!' tax plan
by Ann Coulter, townhall.com
31-Aug-00 |
Even those few intrepid citizens who
attempt to apply for one of Gore's byzantine*
tax credits will have to engage in desirable liberal behaviors in order to
qualify. The government will fork over a puny tax credit only if, for
example, the "working family" has children, and if...these "working
families" agree to abandon their children to socialist, industrialized
day-care centers. No sending the kids to grandma.
*byzantine -
Highly complicated; intricate and involved

You Are Not My Kid's Mom, by Diane Fisher,
Clinical psychologist and mother of three, published in the
The Saturday Evening Post, posted on dadi.org/daycare.htm,
6-Sep-00, page 1 |
There is simply no evading the vast difference
between parents and providers, between even the highest-quality care and a
real home.
Whenever day-care centers are criticized, day-care advocates respond, "Well,
that's because they're low-quality. That's why we're asking for more
funding!" But the problems of day care go far beyond the matter of
"quality." It is simply unethical of daycare advocates to dismiss
serious concerns such as the reasonable age for children to begin full-time
day-care or the importance of a mother staying with babies as much as
possible during those critical first three years, or the risks of ten-hour
day-care days for any child under five.
But they do dismiss these concerns...

But is the public aware that day care is a
business? Parents are encouraged to perceive day-care spokesmen as
true child advocates, who can be trusted to evaluate the effects of day care
on children objectively. Parents are led to believe that day-care
providers have taken some kind of day-care Hippocratic oath, like
physicians. In fact, day-care professionals will be the first to
tell you that they are market-driven. When asked how centers decide on
the hours of service provided -- whether there is not such a thing as too
many hours of day care--one director commented, "we have to provide what the
market demands." Several admitted that this often presented
conflict between what was best for the child,...and what pleased the
corporate day-care headquarters.
