LAUSD: THE WAR ON ART OR THE ART OF WAR ON PUBLIC EDUCATION?
Recently, I received the following query as to why I thought with the passage of Proposition 30, art programs have not been restored. Let me know if you agree or disagree with my answer and analysis of this question.
"Lenny, do you think that the Arts have a legal remedy, since they have been picked on to a far greater extent, and Arts programs are not being restored. The new funding was supposed to restore programs, but the board did not use the money for this. Arts programs are still cut. Any suggestions? Thanks."
Two possible answers:
1. Arts are not core academic subjects like English, Math, Social Studies, and Science
