I saw my first Shakespeare performance at the Walton Art’s center in Fayetteville Arkansas. If we define this position as “the right” with letting the Waltons keep their money and minding our own business, and we define my experience as a seminal moment in the life of a developing artist, and you want to take away that wealth, then I’m left asking the question, why does the left not care about the humanities? I saw a professor pose this question about “the right” this week, but I’ve seen the Walton’s investment in the arts first hand, it’s a social capital, only seizure required is the cost of a ticket to Othello, and you want to take this away? This isn’t the “right” by the way, I don’t know or care how the Waltons vote.
