Interview by Donna Ricks
October 2003 |
Brian (Robertson):
There is a whole industry of people who refer to
themselves as child development experts.
...the day care advocates and the professional child care advocates...think
that as a social norm, the group rearing of children is preferable to
parental rearing of children. Most parents, of course, would disagree with
that, but I don't think (the parents are) fully aware of the agenda
behind some of this promotion of day care.

Donna (Ricks):
Thinking people ask themselves: what's in it for the government? Why would
they support programs that are not in children's interest?
Brian (Robertson):
One reason is that the government is concerned with maintaining the
largest tax base possible. Anything that would tend to reward parents
for staying at home, raising their own children would take certain people,
married mothers for instance, out of the tax paying economy. I think
that's incredibly short sighted...
...That's one interest government
has in promoting day care.
Another (reason): The less
families are autonomous, the more they have to depend on government.
...If government is
giving money, direct or indirect, to
certain groups in society, then those groups are more likely to vote
for politicians that give them those benefits.
I think that dynamic is also at work in the day care question.
