It took vandals one day to deface SF's new $3.5 million parks

135. Kids shouldn't have the space for art taken away

I would always vote for more school funding and the cuts to art/music in the last few decades are so sad to me. I did/still do make art pieces ( and I use that loosely because I suck) in the privacy of my home, and I think an art wall at your child's school is a great thing. If that wall had not been at his/her disposal though, I would hope you would have taught him/her that the public spends hard earned tax dollars to make nice public places. Private small businesses are usually opened by someone with a dream who takes a big risk. It's not right to deface either, and if you didn't teach your child that, then yes, it is like urine, putting your "mark" out there for everyone else with no respect for why that structure was put there to begin with. This board shouldn't baffle you, the culture of "I'm owed this" should baffle you.
