Excellent thinking, gentlemen. Here in New Mexico, 70% of us voted in November to make New Mexico the first state in which early childhood education is a universal right. I encourage other states to do the same thing. If we don't help children from low-income families to read and develop other early-learning skills, they will be held back all their lives, diminishing us all. Universal pre-K is the most important policy change we can make.
Thank you Mike. It is so great to see New Mexico move forward with Universal early childhood education. It is about time that we commit to developing strategies so that eventually the poor will have equal opportunities. We feel very strongly about this and glad to see that NM is taking the lead.
