Kindergarten: Crook Creator

It’s amazing to me that kindergarten remains a controversial subject, but a specimen in one of those great laboratories of governmental ideas, the state legislatures, has managed to come up with this

I went to the Department of Education and got a list of kindergartens and I went to the safety department and got the crime report. … In general, the towns with a kindergarten have 400 percent more crime than other towns in the same county. In every county, the towns and cities with kindergarten had more crime.

You know, I’m a sucker for counterintuitive conclusions about things that seemingly have nothing to do with each other. But I don’t think this one holds up to analysis.
