Message | We oppose this attack on culture and intelligence. We think that all citizens should have acces to a wide array of culture - not only the bleak and superficial commercial culture. The SLP's attack on museums and libraries will mean a decrease in the educational standard of the public, rejecting the population great cultural experiences and weakening our economy. Naomi Leroux PSP speaker on Education and Culture |
