GOP lawmaker says day care is driving a ‘stake through the heart’ of traditional families

A Kansas Republican is not happy at the idea of a day care assistance credit in the state — and explained it’s bad policy because the state shouldn’t “indoctrinate” children and “put mothers to work.”

The progressive news service Heartland Signal obtained the recording of state Sen. Mark Steffen comments, in which he said it’s “not the platform of the Republican Party to emphasize daycare and the separation of children from their parents.”

“This could have just as easily been a child tax credit,” he said. “And yet the decision was made to drive a further wedge into our Kansas traditional families, and that decision was made by the people who put their name on this bill. And you have to take credit for that, you have to take blame for that. There has to be a point where this stops.”

Someone tell that clown that the days when Dad put 8 hours in the mill and Mom stayed home are long gone.
