GIlyard & NEA

Children, arts, and Du Bois Is an article about a school that is closing some of it's after school humanities classes. I found that this article will be helpful for me in unit #3. It appears that when budget cuts come around, Their first choice to cut, are the classes that help inspire creativity. As opposed to the creative suppressing type classes of math and science. I agree with The quote Gillyard provided us with. In Du Bois's own words;

 "Not only a gaining of some practical meant more that it meant before. A step higher on Mount Parnassus is not only to be calculated inches of ground covered but even more by ht immeasurable broader and more beautiful horizon stretching beyond."

 The second article was about the banning of Mexican-American studies program. The classes were banned by politicians stating that the course will "promote the overthrow of the government." The public had an outcry on the class being removed and the books being put on a shelf. The article discusses how a lack in the budget is one of the causes for the the removal of this class. Dolores Huerta even gave a speech about this topic, and at one time declared "Republicans hate Latino's"
These tow articles will help me with my Unit 3 paper because they both provide valuable information about some of the problems in K-12 Education. And the problems that these changes provide.
