| Description | Editor: I am concerned about this current trend among "artists" to disrespect the conservative Christian values that our fathers, brothers and sons have fought and died for. The disrespect that these "creative" types have for the core moral fiber of our freedom-loving society is tantamount to high treason.
My suggestion for solving this problem is simple: cut tax dollars for arts funding in our public schools. The arts are a breeding ground for anti-American sentiment that cannot be tolerated in our post- 9/11 world. Paintings of trees and placid scenes of natural beauty are sadly being replaced by images of President Bush as a buffoonish, uncomprehending "American Idiot." Worse yet, these neo-artists depict our sacred religious icons in unspeakable ways that I will refrain from describing. Our kids are being brainwashed by these left-wing Nazis who pretend to be cool and trendy. I, for one, do not want my tax dollars to pay the salaries of leftist propaganda fomenters.
The money spent on arts programs, theater productions, speech league competitions and other "questionable value" expenditures could be better used to fund sports-based programs. These programs teach children to be a team player. They prepare kids for a life as a co-worker, solid citizen, and, if necessary, as a soldier to help fight the war on terror. Statistically, children who excel at sports do better in life than those who paint hateful pictures. |
