Do you agree with Obama that art and music should be back in schools?

[Whisp]

I've heard him mention this just a couple times, and picked up on it because I think this is so very important to a rounded out education for children. If anyone knows of a speech of his where he embellishes on this, please post it here.

Art, in it's many forms, is the very foundation of humanity and freedom of self and finding unique voice and way of expression. It's an important part of developing critical thinking and looking at things in different ways and coming up with new ideas or expanding on old ideas.

Art is like an arm or a leg. It's part of being human. If we are separated from it, we are less whole, incomplete.

I hope Obama pursues this, for the sake of all, mostly the children. They are trading arms and legs for the NCLB rote robotic stunting program.
