Empty Head Start

This is the official description of the Head Start program from the Office of Head Start:

Head Start is a federal program that promotes the school readiness of children ages birth to 5 from low-income families by enhancing their cognitive, social and emotional development.

Apparently however, Head Start does nothing to improve the emotional development of the relatives of Head Start students.

Via WJTV.com:

HATTIESBURG, Miss.
 
Authorities are searching for a man accused of stabbing a relative during an altercation that started at the PACE Head Start graduation at the University of Southern Mississippi.

Head Start Director Peggy Ainsworth told the Hattiesburg American that she was not aware of the incident at the time it occurred.

Southern Miss Police Chief Bob Hopkins said authorities have identified the suspect and will release his name when a warrant is obtained for his arrest.

Hopkins said a fight between the suspect and the relative started about 11 a.m. Tuesday inside Reed Green Coliseum. Police broke up the fight, but it resumed outside the building. The suspect then allegedly cut the other man in the face with a knife.

I wonder if they have Head Start in prison?  Calling President Obama!
