Outside View: A risky experiment
by Brandon Dutcher A UPI Outside View commentary
Published 1/24/2004

Dr. Laura
Schlessinger* once asked a crowd of day-care
aficionados: Would you rather be raised by a day care worker... (rather than
your own mother?) Then why are you going to do this to your children?
Good question. One that never seems to dawn on the professional "child
advocates"; the corporate bosses hungry for cheap labor, or the journalists
who are missing what Goldberg calls "the most important story you never saw
on TV."
*Dr. Laura Schlessinger is an internationally
syndicated radio host, licensed family therapist, and bestselling author.

Outside View: A risky experiment
by Brandon Dutcher A UPI Outside View commentary
Published 1/24/2004

This is a free
country, and parents are free to raise their children as they see fit...
My point is simply this: Let's not forget that this is a massive experiment.
And as a matter of public policy, let's not give it preferential treatment.
Right now, the federal tax code discriminates against at-home parents: The
Dependent Care Tax Credit helps two-income families pay for day care, but
doesn't help moms or dads who take care of their own kids at home.

Writing in The
American Enterprise, Karl Zinsmeister tells the story of a (visitor to) the
best day care center in her neighborhood...
"I was quite taken aback when I saw them consoling a 6-month-old with a
photograph of his parents," she said. "I don't know...Those people are
betting a helluva lot on this experiment panning out."
