LA Unified Plans to Eliminate 100% of Elementary Arts Education

[villager]

The Los Angeles Unified School District has proposed total elimination of its elementary school arts education program. To take action by contacting the Superintendent and School Board, please click here. This unprecedented step will reverse a ten-year effort made by the District to restore arts education to its 700,000 students.

1. Fuck them.

Go ahead, LAUSD, put the gun to your stupid ass public school head and kill yourself.

What students need more of is about to be eliminated.

How are parents supposed to fight this?

2. The way they fight this...

...is by dipping into their own pockets. The result is of course disproportionate. Bless you Proposition 13 and your skyscraper loophole.

8. +1 billion.

It should SHAME the district to do such a thing. Texas would LOVE to do the same thing. Makes me sick. I worry about the future and what it holds for our youth.

3. But they will spend time and money on non educational garbage while eliminating the arts.

Typical LAUSD decision.

4. Let them eat football! Leave the arts alone.

7. To be fair, there are other kids that really need the athletics, too. Let them eat incessant testing

...and six-figure administration salaries, I think....
