MTI Chairman and CEO Freddie Gershon's latest article for The Huffington Post is an open letter to President Obama about the dire consequences of the impending cuts in arts education funding:

Mister President: 40 million dollars for arts education is now threatened in the Federal Budget fight. Specifically, The Kennedy Center's educational programs -- which are the heart of everything that goes on in the schools outside of reading, writing, arithmetic and sports and is under siege by being undermined... although our states are cutting teachers and school budgets in general.

Freddie passionately defends the positive impact the arts have on our culture in his inimitable style and is a must-read for anyone who cares about our nation's future.  Freddie loves getting your feedback, so please comment or share this article, read more from Freddie on his blog, or add him as your friend on MTI ShowSpace.
