Remember the controversy over that conservative congressman's remark that any toddler who isn't in school will likely end up in jail? Remember the liberal acrimony over this obviously racist insinuation that black kids can either shape up or be shipped off to prison?

Of course not. That's made up. Had it happened, one would have had to live on the moon not to have heard about it.

But the insinuation was made - just not by a conservative. On March 3, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schulz (D-FL) took to the floor of the House to promote "how vital early education is in the development of children" and "how 50 years of solid research has shown that early education reduces crime."
