I posted earlier about Romney's pledge to eliminate federal support for the arts and humanities (PBS and "Big Bird"). A reader from Louisiana--which is the absolute acme of education reform--says that the defunding has already started in that state.
Earlier this year, state lawmakers eliminated support for libraries. It was less than $1 million, hardly a crumb on the public table, but it sent a significant message: If you want to read books, buy them yourself.
It is happening in Pennsylvania. Big Time.
I agree we should eliminate libraries. no not the actual public libraries run by cities and counties and schools but the state level Division of Libraries. there is no need to have the state have an entire division to support something that can be run on the county level
