I'm not a historian but you're clearly turning this into a political issue (by talking about CA/OR as the origin). Instead, let's focus on the policies.

I was in Florida (mostly GOP ran) and they had similar training. These policies (to not be attached) sounds very wrong, especially when numerous studies support attachment parenting as the best way to nurture child development.

Let's focus on the a mutually agreed problem (shit training) and work towards a better solution through better policies that either experiment with attachment or outright support it.
