"Tax dollars should not be wasted on art, music, or theater classes in high school." This statement is complete bull. If you take away these classes from us, you are depriving us of the chance to further the creative side of our mind. It would take away and suppress the freedom we have to express ourselves.
As students we already are worked to the brim with studies. These electives give us a chance to not only express ourselves but give us a break. Without these classes we would only be using and developing one side of our brains.
This whole thing is kind of comedic though. People want to take away our arts programs but nothing is mentioned about the sports. If you're going to eliminate some electives, just get rid of them all. "Public high schools should be about training young people to enter the workforce. Period." This is meaning the academic courses. Evidently no one is expecting anyone to go do a creative job. These classes are getting us ready for the workforce. Not everyone is going to end up in a job that needs science or a lot of this unnecessary math we learn.
Please don't take away our creative freedoms because you were boring and uncreative while in school.
