On this week’s Dropout Nation Podcast, RiShawn Biddle explains why reformers must help poor and minority kids — and all children — gain exposure to music and the arts. Expanding cultural experiences helps all kids gain the knowledge they need for success. But it will take the overhaul of how cultural courses are taught and provided in American public education in order to ensure that all of our children gain that knowledge.
