dc.description.abstractPublic education is the strongest way to address our country's poverty as an institution grounded in both political and moral reasoning. However, our current school system is flawed with inequality. I find that inequalities in education begin even before children enter kindergarten and the school system is never able to overcome this initial negative impact. I propose Universal Preschool to combat these early inequalities. A universal program would provide social, health, and educational benefits to the participant as well as providing benefits to their families and society at large. I address the major critiques of this proposal and show that while their arguments have validity, the potential costs of Universal Preschool are considerably smaller than the potential benefits.en_US
