Sometimes talking about a familiar issue in a new light with unexpected advocates is an excellent way to attract attention. Lipman Hearne is strategizing and working with Mission: Readiness to raise awareness of early education. Their research shows that 75 percent of young Americans are ineligible to enlist in the military because they are either physically unfit, high school drop outs or have criminal records.

Mission: Readiness is led by retired military leaders and Education Secretary Arne Duncan helped launched this initiative. The former military leaders cite research that shows early education can reduce the drop out and crime rates while keeping children on track for healthier lives.
