Grass-Roots Libertarians Oppose Meathead's Prop. 82

Measure would destroy preschools already serving two-thirds of eligible children

LOS ANGELES ? The Libertarian Party of California (LPC) adopted a resolution at its state convention this weekend opposing Proposition 82, the "California Preschool for All Act," and urges all Californians to vote against the measure. The resolution condemning Prop. 82 was passed unanimously. The delegates who voted represented Libertarian Party county affiliates from all corners of California.

Said LPC Chair Aaron Starr,

Hundreds of thousands of California parents are already providing preschool for their children with little or no support from taxpayers. Prop. 82 would increase that number by only a few percent, but in the process would effectively kill off our current private-sector preschools and replace them with an expensive and dysfunctional state-managed system.
 
Other means of making preschool accessible to a higher percentage of students, such as educational tax credits, could better accomplish the policy objective without destroying what is already working.
