Well, we shouldn’t be financing such degrees with public loans. If some heiress wants a degree in studio art, she should absolutely be allowed to spend daddy’s money on it, even if the degree will never pay off in a narrow economic sense. [/quote]
What a self-own this is.

Your family clearly doesn’t have any talent in the arts and you don’t have a home where art, music, dance, and drama are present. If you did, you would support arts education. How sad.

I don't think they don't support arts education. They just don't think the American people should be financing it for students who will most likely default on their loan (as history has shown). There are plenty of full pay families that can continue to pay the tuitions for these humanities programs.

I think it shows a profound lack of education to think this way. You may have training for your job, but you aren't educated if you don't see the value of the arts on society.

We are doomed if we lose the arts. Truly. [/quote]
So just give young artists debt, debt, and more debt? Living in cars, living in tents, nondischargeable debts that burden their whole lives? Debt with no limit or end? That’s the future you want to see for the arts??[/quote]
