Governor Rick Perry recently announced that he was cutting the budget cuts in Texas, and it will affect countless people, including us, the students. His decision to begin with cutting school budget is a direct contradiction to one of the things that he as well as his administration have been focusing on and that is, improving education, yet now he has decided to begin budgeting with our school funds. Not only is this unfair to the students by drastically reducing their education, there for not giving nor improving our education that we will need in the future to run our country, but also taking away or cutting some elective, and justifying it by saying we could do it on our own time. Many students don’t have the luxury of being able to peruse it because of the current economic crises. He also announced that he may also be eliminating the Texas Historical Commission and the Texas Commission on the Arts. I for one am very passionate of both history and the arts as well as many students in Texas are. History is not only a very important subject which should be valued, but is also very fascinating to many students, myself included. History has helped us not make the same mistakes and repetitions that our predecessors have made, but helped us understand were certain decisions have gone wrong so we don’t repeat them. The arts are not only a beautiful expression, but a savior for some children. The arts are how somoe kids are able to attened school and have the future that they have dreamed of. To take this away from us, would not only himder our futuers but the future of our country.
