Remind me again why music shouldn't be in public school?

This was originally posted by Collette Plantz. I liked and thought I'd share with everyone else. Watch this and then tell me why schools are cutting the art and music departments to save money. Blows my mind...

@lulzmoney99 Get a fu**ing grip, and stop wasting your own and everyone elses time. If you watched this video and still thought that music should not be taught in public schools, then that's your opinion. Which you are entitled to have.

But being such a b*tch about it isn't helping anyone, not even yourself.

@darkinertia2 basically, the government, and all the "services" it provides, are no less of a scam than rich people getting taxed only 15% and big corporations getting free subsidies. the public services everyone is so attached to are simply screwing you over in a much more subtle, and sophisticated manner, which is much more difficult to detect than something obvious like corporations being given handouts.

hahaha I could read before I attended school, and learning to read isn't that difficult. the purpose of public education is not to educate our society, you can be sure of that. that is the reason given by the people profiting off of public education, of which there are many. even something seemingly innocuous like the law against theft is really just a big scam. only rich people have things that are worth stealing, obviously they are getting a much better deal for their tax dollars than the poor

@lulzmoney99 really dude? yeah the reason why they have all these public services is to get rich....wow. no what they ACTUALLY get rich off of is politicians doing the bidding of corporations for "donations". do you think youd be able to read and type bullshit like that without public education? those services are what america WANTS...fuck it i know im talking to ron paul nutjob so their is no point...go ahead and live in your fantasy anarchist world

@darkinertia2 why are you implicitly assuming that I support ridiculous actions taken by government? obviously public money is spent improperly... don't you know that the government is just a big scam? education wastes 14 years of kids lives, public healthcare costs more lives than its saving, drug prohibition creates almost every single drug related problem we see reported in the media, etc. so why does the government provide healthcare, education, and all the other bullshit? profits

[darkinertia2]

@lulzmoney99 how about instead of starting at the bottom from our schools funding we start with having the rich pay more than 15 percent in taxes, or stop giving oil subsidies to exxon when they dont need one when theyve made record breaking profits, or make the banks that we gave 1.5 trillion pay us back instead of going back to making tons of money with no strings attached? you said saving lives, yet theyve cut policee funding to the point where crime has risen in major cities!

@lulzmoney99 throw down. right now.

[lulzmoney99]

@TheVPloeg your argument is irrelevant. look at the comment for the video. "watch this and tell me why schools are cutting the art and music depts to save money"... All I did was answer the question - money is unlimited and there are better things, like saving lives, for tax dollars to be spent on. Sorry you're too stupid to understand something so simple. Music and art departments and everything that comes with them is not cheap.. But hey, you think music is nice, so who cares saving lives?

[TheVPloeg]

@lulzmoney99 my god. like i stated before, the person playing the guitar paid for it with his own money. the music teachers are gonna get paid either way. they get paid whether there is a class or not. same with the music room. don't call me a fucktard u little brat.

[lulzmoney99]

@barnetube I'm being a bitch by stating the truth? music depts aren't free, the money used to finance music depts could be used to save COUNTLESS lives - you know, it doesn't cost much to save a life in the third world, compared to the cost of all the unnecessary luxuries we enjoy over here in the west, like music in schools. congratulations on having the opinion that music is more valuable than human life. You're a piece of shit in my opinion.

[lulzmoney99]

@TheVPloeg you are what is known as mad. sorry that you can't handle the truth... music depts, music teachers, instruments, music rooms, bla bla bla.. it's not free, but you know that ;) do you think pretty sounds are better than saving a persons life? pretty inhumane viewpoint you have, but hey, as long as you get your precious music dept, and you get your way, who cares what the cost is to someone else? right? good logic, fucktard.
