Olympia School District mom slams the school board's vote to cut back the elementary music program to address budget concerns.
Olympia School District mom Alesha Perkins discusses how the school district decided to cut the music program, calling the move a new 'level of absurdity.'
Seattle, Washington's largest school district is under fire for cutting music classes amid claims they promote"white supremacy culture" and"significant institutional violence.", which is facing a budget shortfall of millions of dollars, voted last week to eliminate band and orchestra for fourth grade students, with one member commenting on the"problems with how elementary instrumental music is administered.
"We’re a school district that lives in … is entrenched in … is surrounded by white supremacy culture. And that’s a real thing," Clifthorne said. "There’s nothing about strings or wind instrumental music that is intrinsically white supremacist. However, the ways in which it is and the ways in which all of our institutions, not just schools — local government, state government, churches, or neighborhoods — inculcate and allow white supremacy culture to continue to be propagated and cause significant institutional violence are things that we have to think about carefully as a community.
