Absurd. We should never replace the arts with Home Economics. Two different things. Maybe less time should be spent in those Bush Era textbooks.
It's meant to be absurd. Buried in the absurdity is a grain of truth.
The problem is, neither the arts nor home economics are valued in the education sphere and we don't base education policies on science.
As an example, an elementary music teacher I know said "in a school year I will have seen each child for 24 hours. That's not enough time to reach them some music theory or how to play an instrument."
