PRE-K BLUES. While universal pre-k enthusiasts mourn yesterday's defeat of Rob Reiner's awesome California initiative, Gene Sperling reminds us that, at the federal level, the Bush administration and congressional Republicans have "allow[ed] Head Start to have lower enrollment in 2005 than it did in 2002, and give[n] Head Start its first outright funding cut in 19 years." Gotta pay for the estate tax repeal somehow.
