Seattle, Washington's largest school district is under fire for cutting music classes amid claims they promote “white supremacy culture” and “significant institutional violence.”
Board members for the Olympia School District, which is facing a budget shortfall of millions of dollars, voted last week to eliminate band and orchestra for fourth grade students, with one member commenting on the “problems with how elementary instrumental music is administered.”
Alesha Perkins, a mom of three in the district, called out the “absurdity” of the move Tuesday on “Fox & Friends First.”
“We have reached a level of absurdity in our school district, among our school board and our leadership that is just hard to ignore at this point,” Perkins said, adding the decision was “par for the course” for the controversial board.
