Let The Children (See A) Play

I’m not going to argue about this: I’m right. Children need art and music and literature; they need to go to art galleries and museums and theatres; they need to learn to play musical instruments and to act and to dance. They need these things so much that human rights legislation alone should ensure that they get them.

Commentary from Philip Pullman, author of the His Dark Materials trilogy. If you haven’t read them, you should, no matter how old you think you are.

    Thank you for getting m too read these 2 years ago. They were fabulous. Children need fresh air, no sugar, and discipline. We need adult rights back. After having a wonderful vacation almost ruined by children I realized that children these days rule the world. So, Pullman is wrong..There aren’t any children who can sit quietly and behave through a play these days.. It’s a shame but TRUE.
