Harper Backs MPs Depiction of Liberal

by John-Henry Westen,

Peter Shawn Taylor... compared Canada's
Liberal day care plan to that of Hungary. "During communist rule
(1949-1990), the predominant feature of the national family policy was
factory-provided daycare,"
..."During these years, childcare was seen as a means to boost the female
labour supply and increase economic production.

Don’t give us government childcare
for Mother’s Day by Carrie
Lukas, townhall.com, 14-May-06 |
What’s the perfect Mother’s Day gift? A
bouquet of tulips? Jewelry? Breakfast in bed? The National Organization for
Women (NOW) has something a little more expensive in mind—universal
childcare.
Here in the United States, NOW wants Washington to subsidize daycare so
women can achieve economic parity with men...
And anyway, as feminist author Kate Millet argues, children are better
served by “professional” caregivers: “The care of the young is infinitely
better left to trained professionals rather than to harried amateurs with
little time nor taste for the education of young minds.”...
...Certainly parents thought there was a role for daycare. They
overwhelmingly understood and sympathized with those for whom daycare was
the only option. But the (Public Agenda) survey confirms that few parents
are clamoring for government intervention in childcare and even fewer
embrace the feminist vision of universal government-funded institutional
care. For American families, a parent is the ideal caregiver.
What Americans want are policies that make it easier for families to keep a
parent at home, not policies that facilitate daycare. ..
...Sometimes daycare is a necessity, sometimes parents prefer it, but most
often it’s not wanted at all. Mother’s day in America is about honoring moms
and their varied choices. Let’s leave the grand social experiments and
“universal childcare” to France.

Asthma Risk in Daycares
By Mary Rettig, agapepress.org, 19-May-06
|
The (Swedish study on daycare and
allergies) found that preschool-age children in daycare centers are more
likely to develop allergy symptoms than are children in a home environment.
The researchers says the group atmosphere in a daycare setting is more
likely to foster respiratory illness which can develop into allergies and
asthma.
Specifically, according to the study by the SP Swedish National Testing and
Research Institute, children in daycare had an increased risk of 23 percent
for asthma, 75 percent for hay fever, 33 percent for wheeze, and 27 percent
for food allergy. In addition, daycare children showed a 56 percent
increased risk for cough, 15 percent for rhinitis, and 49 percent for
eczema. The study appears in the journal Allergy.

Daycare horror stories abound involving
allegations ranging from caregiver incompetence to outright neglect and
abuse...(examples of lost, abandoned, imprisoned, and molested children in
daycares...)
...You may be wondering how such things can happen, but the NACCRRA
