This brief article (reprinted at the blog link below) by Anthony Brandt is fascinating. Brandt draws on one of my areas of high interest, brain science, to make a case for another interest of mine, arts education, as a civil rights issue. He makes a compelling argument. I have long felt that the developmental benefits of early arts education are so powerful as to make it in society's interest to invest in it for the public good. Taking it another step, to the level of a right is at least an idea worthy of provoking discussion.
