We are in the best of hands

  So we find out the EPA, in addition to funding all kinds of studies that produce exactly the results the EPA desires for the health of the children, has also funded dance.
  Yes.
  That's right.
  Dance.
  Or better stated, kinesthetic dance movements.
  The Tatler has the sad tale of the $25,000 grant given by the EPA for, well, something.
Rep. Cory Gardner (R-Colo.) questioned Jackson about the 2011 allotment made through theEnvironmental Justice Small Grants Program, particularly in light of EPA complaints about funding shortages.
“Are you familiar with kinesthetic dance movements?” Gardner asked Jackson.
“I know what the words mean but I’ve never done them,” she replied.
“Are you familiar with kinesthetic learning?” the congressman asked.
“No sir, but I’m not a teacher,” Jackson responded.

  1. I followed your link and found this in that pdf;The Repertory Dance Theater uses the arts to educate Salt Lake City youth about impacts of air pollution. Repertory Dance Theatre plans to conduct ten Arts/Environmental Residency Programs in K-6 schools in the west and central areas of Salt Lake City and to use the arts to help students understand the impacts of air pollution on the environment their health. The project intends to produce innovative lectures, demonstrations and movement classes in 10 elementary schools. Kinesthetic learning will be used to examine air quality issues and encourage youth and their families to adopt healthy living practices. Participants will be guided through fun problem solving activities focusing on understanding the need for clean air and preventative methods to decrease pollution at home.
    It's amazing how many of these grant go to minority groups as if the breathe different air that the rest of us.
