[Dixielandjazz] The Lack of Music Programs in the Schools.

[philwilking]

It seems to me that eliminating music from early shooling is stupid in the 
extreme. It has long been known that music education fosters facility in 
mathematics (after all, western music is all about ratios and wave forms), 
so to eliminate music is to degrade the mathematics curiculum. I am not 
mentioning federal programs or State programs, but a principal. Blow the 
federal programs, go to your local school board meetings and tell them to 
eliminate Creative Psycho-Babble and to use the money for band and chorus 
instead.

Those who would exchange freedom for
security deserve neither freedom nor security.
