Yes, Project 2025 Wants to Eliminate Head Start

The article from Snopes addresses a claim circulating on social media that Project 2025, a policy initiative by the Heritage Foundation, aims to eliminate the Head Start program, which provides early childhood education, health, and nutrition services to low-income children. The claim suggests that Project 2025's "Mandate for Leadership" document explicitly calls for the termination of Head Start. However, the article clarifies that while the document does propose significant changes to federal education programs, including Head Start, it does not explicitly state an intention to "eliminate" the program. Instead, it suggests a reevaluation and potential restructuring of how these services are delivered, possibly shifting responsibilities to states or private entities. The article rates the claim as "Mostly False," indicating that while there are proposals for changes, the outright elimination of Head Start as suggested by the social media posts is not directly supported by the document.
