The #HeritageFoundation hopes to steer #funding for #childcare AWAY from programs like #HeadStart & toward individual families — specifically to encourage parents [wives] to stay home & rear children.

And the group wants #Trump to issue #ExecutiveOrders requiring ALL proposed policies & #regulations to “measure their positive or negative impacts & marriage & family” — then overhaul or end programs that score poorly [whose metrics?].

Kristin Du Mez sums up the legacy of James Dobson:

"Dobson believed that children are born sinful and that their behavior showed that and so he mandated very strict punishment including corporal punishment for children. He gave instructions on how to spank your kids and and good Christian parents must spank their kids, how to use implements to do so."

"He was a leader of the 'religious right' whose every public action showed that he understood the message of the Gospels as well as I understand quantum mechanics.

"This is one of those moments when I ask all of our new Never Trump allies: Where were you people when this monster was running things? This guy, who once advised fathers to shower with their sons so they could see dad’s penis and know what it means to be a man. This guy, who wrote that fathers should hit their recalcitrant children …."

"It’s not surprising, then, that whole podcasts and books exist to talk about the harmful results of Dobson’s teachings. He was a psychologist who didn’t seem to comprehend what it means to be human."

"Despite their expressed grievance that they are discriminated against because of some wokeness they believe is holding their country hostage, it remains a fact that no one on Planet Earth is more privileged than a white male fortunate enough to be born in the USA and given opportunities that exist nowhere else in the world to build a good and successful life."
