Target: Arne Duncan of the United States Department of Education
Region: United States of America
Petition Background (Preamble):
Schools that have removed the Arts from their curriculum due to being deemed "at risk" by the No Child Left Behind Act suffer even more. Studies have shown that graduation rates decrease with the elimination of the Arts.
That is why we should petition Arne Duncan, the U.S. Secretary of Education, to incorporate the Arts into those schools that have eliminated them from their curriculum.
