dude you are an idiot..
Stupid... or maybe you are just purposely ignoring the truth.

Well it was a bit ambiguous, but I think he meant that music and art should be SERIOUSLY EXPANDED not cut back becuase they are good programs for ALL kids. Everyone benefits. It's the idea that "a rising tide lifts all boats." Even though your kids may not be interested in art or music, they will develop the brain and help kids become more aware of their environment. So need more art in schools.

Federal government stays out of the issue. Doesn't have the constitutional authority to say a word. How else do you avoid Federal regulation of State schools?
-
You did not address the question. What is his position on music and arts education in our schools? Specifically!
-
No department of education.
And so... the role of the federal government is to unleash weapons of mass instruction? Or to play a limited role? Which is it, Mr. Huckabee?
Talk about politics of parsing.

Did you even listen? State issue... Fed has a role in sharing best practices. At least try to comprehend what is being said before you make a comment.

He just said two completely different things in the same sentence. What exactly is this "weapon of mass instruction"??? Doesn't sound to me like the role of the federal government. Sounds like code for throwing more money into the department of education. How else do you ensure music and art is taught in every school? Think about that.

By working with the states and sharing best practices and models while the president uses the bully pulpit to bring the issue before the public.
Think about THAT!
