I just received a notice when I went to pick up my daughter at preschool regarding enrollment for next year. At the bottom was this disclaimer:

Admission to ******** Preschool is open to any child between the ages of 2.9 years to 5 years, regardless of race, religion, cultural heritage, political beliefs, national origin, marital status, sexual orientation or disability.

I'm happy that they don't discriminate. However, I doubt that many children that age - even the mature 5 year olds - have well-formed political views, are aware of their sexual orientation, or have been married. However, if my daughter comes home with a 4 year old gay divorced communist, I'll be supportive of both her choice in friends and the school for its policy.

FYI: "2.9" means "2 years and nine months" in preschool parlance.....

you should be happy...now your daughter can be free to express her libertarian leanings in class.

I assume that disclaimer is a thinly-veiled reference to the Parents, not the child.

That is why my child will be going to pre-bootcamp.
