What happened

Well supportedReported by 3 independent outlets

Andy Beshear, Governor of Kentucky, urged President Donald Trump to reconsider proposed changes to Head Start, which he says would cut funding and harm 15,000 children in Kentucky. North Carolina Attorney General Jeff Jackson also signed a letter opposing the changes, joining 23 other attorneys general and the governor of Kentucky. The opposition argues the proposed changes violate the Head Start Act, which prohibits reducing the program's quality or scope.
