Oh please. Your slippery slope argument is garbage. The truth is, only ~33% of 4 year-olds even attend preschool in the US [1]. So by the facts of reality, preschool is completely optional. Plenty of people go on to get college degrees without going to pre-school and it's ridiculous to claim it's the same as skipping high school.
Speaking of college... Unlike for real teachers, only half of public preschool programs require any sort of degree or qualification, and this guy works for a private preschool, which often have no requirements at all.
Indeed, after a difficult search, I found that he actually never finished college [2]. So yeah, he's basically just a random guy with no official background in education. So who the fuck cares about his opinion about STEM in education?
He got the job because his daughter went to the preschool. That's it. That's not a qualification.
