i am a member of the sfc, and a member of a pack. i am curious if the irony of all the speakers early on with what you brought up today is not lost on us at this late hour. this was an incredible thing you all accomplished early in the day, and the comments about the children lining up and walking by the mural, and not knowing what it was and the impact it had on them, into see people of color coming up on that one side of it and they had the nerve to come up and talk about how important the art was, to me, emphasizes the need and how important it is to have an art curriculum in this school. the idea that an art curriculum does not enhance, if not become part of an academic thing, is just a level of ignoring it -- ignorance that is stunning. i see it at our school, which we are blessed to have. the arts are so incorporated in it. i look at the teachers that come in, in one of the things they say all the time, all the time, is not only do they want to the art teacher there, but they want the art teacher to be part of the curriculum. t
