The Clintons can't stay away from children.....Their foundation is building playgrounds now (pizzagate)

submitted ago by Commoner

This is pizzagate related because it shows yet again, that the Clintons are involved with 'helping kids'. Hillary has billed herself for years as an advocate for children, and now we know it was only a cover.

In 2015, the Clinton Foundation launched a program to build children's Playgrounds with its Play Time is Talk Time: Early Literacy in Playgrounds https://www.clintonfoundation.org/clinton-global-initiative/commitments/play-time-talk-time-early-literacy-playgrounds

Their website https://www.clintonfoundation.org/ currently has an update on that program, "

On Assignment: Revitalizing playgrounds for kids and families in Houston"

showing that they completed their first playground in Houston Texas with their partner Too Small to Fail

Burnett Street Park Playground is Too Small’s 26th “Talking is Teaching: Talk, Read, Sing” playground and, due to its partnership with CHMI(Clinton Health Matters Initiative), its first early health and physical activity-themed playground in the nation.

Too Small to Fail'sAdvisory Council Members include Cindy McCain, Sen. Bill Frist , and Ann O'Leary, Vice Chair of the Board and Co-Founder, The Opportunity Institute, which partners with Too Small to Fail. Ann was also "legislative director to Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, and she led the children and family policy team on the White House Domestic Policy Council under President William J. Clinton. She also served as a member of the Obama-Biden Presidential Transition Team."

Ann O"leary was also married to a California Supreme Court Justice

A little bit of potential scandal news has entered the otherwise boring race for the state senate seat being fought by Supervisors Jane Kim and Scott Wiener: Kim has been implicated, according to sources speaking the Chron's City Hall gossip mongers Matier & Ross, in helping precipitate the breakup of the marriage between California Supreme Court Justice Goodwin Liu and current top advisor to the Hillary Clinton campaign Ann O’Leary. Liu was Kim's professor in law school, and as the paper reports, Liu and Kim have been dating for an indeterminate amount of time.

On the board of "The Opportunity Institute" are two more Clinton people:

Robert Reich Chancellor’s Professor of Public Policy; former U.S. Secretary of Labor and Bill Richardson Former Governor of New Mexico, Member of Congress, Secretary of Energy, and Ambassador to the United Nations

I just find it really odd that a major organization like the Clinton Foundation is into building playgrounds in the United States. And, of course, as usual, all of the organizations they partner with have Clinton associates as board members. These people have their tentacles everywhere.

Um. Why? What's the basis of this?
Did you look into too Small to Fail and what it's about?

Too Small to Fail, a joint initiative of the Clinton Foundation and The Opportunity Institute, is leading a public awareness and action campaign to promote the importance of early brain and language development and to empower parents with tools to talk, read, and sing with their young children from birth. Today, almost 60 percent of children in the United States start kindergarten unprepared, lagging behind their peers in critical language and reading skills. Through partnerships with pediatricians, hospitals, faith-based leaders, community based organizations, businesses, entertainment industry leaders, and others, Too Small to Fail is meeting parents where they are to help them prepare their children for success in school and beyond. Whether at the pediatrician's office or the playground, Too Small to Fail aims to make small moments big by creating opportunities for meaningful interactions anytime, anywhere.

The way that the Clinton Foundation works is they partner with an organization that makes a "committment." In this case the partners are organizations that were already involved in making playgrounds and the commitment was adding educational prompts and information on healthy foods. This is based on recent research about how kids brains develop before preschool and kindergarten.

Playgrounds are usually the project of local entities or charities. Sometimes, even state funding is involved, not global charities like the Clinton Foundation.

Do you think they will do the Pegasus playground in DC next? I

Again. The Clinton Foundation partners with people who make a certain commitment. In this case, one of the partners is a commercial playground equipment manufacturer. So their commitment is add these early literacy tools into what they normally do. Perhaps they are donating the cost/labor of this part of the playground.
