OK... a little over the top. My apologies.
The Governor released a budget proposal Friday which would effectively end Arizona's very popular all-day Kindergarten program established less than a decade ago. That may not be "hating" kids, but it certainly makes it harder for them to learn. You can find a budget summary here from the Arizona Education Association.
They recently sent out an alert about the budget.

The governor's budget proposes permanently eliminating several non-formula education programs as well as funding for full-day kindergarten. The proposal also targets health care for Arizona's children and families by cutting funding for several health and human service programs such as KidsCare, which provides health insurance for nearly 47,000 children, and AHCCCS, which provides health care coverage to over 300,000 Arizonans. In addition, the budget eliminates behavioral health services for people who aren't eligible for Medicaid, impacting over 17,000 seriously mentally-ill adults.
