I also read the article on the LA times.
I am happy that there is some Asian-American talent on America's Got Talent.
I am always wondering where the Asian pop artists are? Specially after watching some on foreign cable broadcasts . They are around, why not here? It is up to us as teachers to motivate students to explore their talents, specially in a town with so many opportunities. I was recently present at a retreat where a 10 yr. old Filipino boy played the violin incredibly. He has won contests against adults with no problem. It is important to incorporate the important role the arts have played through out history to diffuse ideas, values through plays, music, poetry, sculptures,and today's myriad technology.
