Art shouldn't be prohibited in public schools when kids in private schools always get it.

We're not proposing any shifting of funding from public schools to private schools.

When I was coaching, the kids wanted to leave private schools for the public schools so they could get the best coaching, play the best competition. It's not that way anymore.

In public schools, classes are bloated - it's ridiculous.

And then the conditions of safety - or lack of safety - for teachers in public schools, and the disparity between public schools and private schools is shameful.

Of course, museums and galleries and art spaces will continue to ground the art world. But certainly the public - as well as artists - also benefit when art is encountered in other everyday situations.
