Could we please start funding the humanities again? It's not just that we're losing the ability to read, we're losing the understanding of what reading even is

This is painfully real. I'm actually literally writing a paper right now about the connection between having real contact with the arts and humanities, major choice, and arts and humanities funding.

I would say we’re losing understanding of what being humanS is.

Do you really think a humanities course or five would fix these derps? MBA brain exists because a good chunk of the world is MBA brain material. The world didn't used to be full of better people, it used to be a lot easier to ignore the petty soulless.

As a middle school English teacher the rise of digital reading curricula brings genuine despair. I outsource a lot of basic grammar instruction to an online program, but for reading I insist on whole paper books. There’s no substitute if you genuinely value reading as a practice.

The esteemed goblin turd... sorry, I meant "governor" of my state, Ronald Dion "Meatball Ron" DeSantis just cancelled $32M in state art funding because he's a crybully asshole. No, he's not taking out his frustration over losing his Presidential bid on people with less power, YOU ARE!

Dear Ian: All kids need to learn is in the Bible, anything else is the work of Satan, especially anything with "human" in the course title. Yours, Ryan Walters
