Public Discourse

In relation to my microtheme which centered focus onto the importance of music as part of education; I have found an article about promoting STEM education and cutting liberal arts funding all together. This article posed a vicious attack about the importance of focusing getting a job in something that will ensure a salary upon graduation. There were several statistics posed on salaries compared by major. It also highlighted that when it comes to funding it is all about dividing up a pot of money among majors. Some even get a "premium". While I do not agree with this stance it is important to acknowledge the arguments that have been posed. These positions reflect the motivation behind the content of my microtheme.
