Keep Head Start’s quality standards

Scott joined other members of Congress in demanding that HHS withdraw a proposed rule that would remove more than 90 percent of Head Start’s standards. The members say those standards ensure children receive high-quality early education; the rule could also make some currently enrolled children ineligible.

Context: This was a joint demand involving 190 members of Congress, not a policy statement by Scott alone. The source describes a proposed rule, not a completed change.
