Yes, they'll sit back and enjoy their money with fine art, food, music and... Oh wait, those things won't exist.

I don't know that I follow.

I think he's trying to say that those things wouldn't exist without Antia-uthoritarians.

They are becoming less and less prevalent. Many school have dropped funding for the arts because it's "not a necessity."

Yes, ButterflyEffect is right, that is what I was attempting to say.

My school district has their priorities set: Cut funding from arts and other extracurricular activities, but do not under any circumstances touch the football and baseball budgets. Fortunately I graduated a while ago from there and will not be giving them a dime of my hard-earned money at any point.

A future without arts is very bleak.

That's the case with many schools. I'm not sure why the arts are valued less and sports. At their finest, sports are an art (a form of expression). The arts are a necessity in my book.
