the headline is not objective because the word preschoolers adds emotion to the language.

Explanation:

• Objective language is neutral and free from bias or emotion.
• The word "raids" has a negative connotation and adds an emotional element. It implies that the governor's action of taking funding is improper or wrong in a more intense way than a neutral word like "cuts" or "reduces" would.
• The word "preschoolers" is a factual term for a group of people (young children). It is a neutral, descriptive word and does not add emotion in the context of this headline.

Answer:

The headline is not objective because the word raids adds emotion to the language.
