Preschool teachers would be forced to obtain a certain college degree if a new Democratic bill is passed by Congress.

Tucked inside the 2,468-page spending bill (pdf) unveiled this week is a provision that says minimum standards for preschool teachers would require lead teachers to “a baccalaureate degree in early childhood education or a related field by not later than 7 years after the date of enactment of this Act.”
