I fully support the idea that every child should have the right to learn a musical instrument, but unless you've worked in state schools, with respect, you don't know how complicated this is. It's not as simple as just supplying musical instruments to all children. 1/9
I worked in London Borough of Newham where there is a scheme to offer free instrumental lessons to children on Free School Meals. Excellent scheme, highly commended. HOWEVER. Many who were eligible didn’t want to take up or weren’t able to engage and benefit if they did. 2/9
This is because inequality makes practice and engagement next to impossible. If your mum works nights and sleeps in the afternoon/evening, you can’t practice. If you live in a 3 bed house with 5 other people, your practice is not welcome. 3/9

Gov. @JohnKasich, my grandfather was a Lincoln Republican. I’ve known & loved Republicans my whole life. But you signed voter suppression bills, cut taxes for the greedy & undermined social safety nets for poor & low-income white, Black & brown people.
One great thing to do tonight would be to repent of the policies you have supported that are also supported by Trump & pledge to support Biden/Harris as a sign of change.
