Funding the Arts
Should the government be funding arts programs, museums, and similar programs? And of course, why?
The answer is: Yes, in a limited manner.
Children who go through school exposed to arts, music and the type of cultural and historic displays in their regular classes. Specifically in math, which translates into easier understanding of science. The exposure tends generate interest in reading about the history of recently seen things improving their knowledge in both of those fields.
While I don't feel funding should be one hundred percent, I do feel it is money well spend funding things like school music and art programs, library's, and museums.
