Remember the Arts in your budget!
I hope Ed Rendell reads this. I hope he reads and gets off whatever horse that apparently got him elected. Saying he’s a friend of education is like saying Enron cared about its shareholders. It’s like saying Vick was humane to dogs. As the Keystone State Lawmakers continue to exchanger verbal volleys this week, friends of mine go unpaid and all functions of the state come to a screeching halt. I have the solution to free up a lot of money in the budget – kill standardized testing where it stands. But knowing Rendell’s agenda, we will stay the course and ultimately force districts around the state to make their cuts to save the essentials. So now the arts in public education find themselves in another tooth and nail battle because we are non-essential….yeah, right.
