After thinking about this week's readings concerning the "Cultural Wars," and reflecting upon the questions posed in the reading/discussion guide, please generate a healthy discussion around the arguments, issues and (possibly) your own proposals for how the NEA might fund culture in the United States, if it should at all. I would like this to be an open discussion, so I'm offering very little in the way of direction. You could simply summarize the main positions taken, and give a rationale for your own preferences. Or, you could focus in more narrowly on a point, and thoroughly flesh it out.
