Chapter 63.6: The Arts President?

When's the last time you heard a presidential candidate calling for support of the arts? Well, former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee did essentially that, and I think he should be applauded for it. While campaigning in Iowa, Huckabee told audiences and anyone who would listen that teaching the arts, especially music, is important because it helps students "learn how to learn." I completely agree. I wish there were more teachers who could help kids learn the relationship between music and math, too. The mind that can grasp both well is well equipped for success in life. Bravo, Governor Huckabee.
