Tony Bennett: 'Hire More Art Teachers Now.'
According to the Daily News, Tony Bennett and his wife, Susan Benedetto, say that 'the only way to make lasting gains for disadvantaged New Yorkers on this critical educational front' is by hiring more art teachers. Mayor de Blasio seems to agree. Last month, he added 23 million in arts education funding to the city's annual budget- which is a step in the right direction after the recent years of art cutbacks.
