As school budgets decrease, many districts are contracting to allow advertising on permission slips, lockers, cafeteria tables, and the outside of school buildings. The Kentucky House has voted to allow school districts to permit advertising on buses. Some argue that children see too much advertising as it is. Parents also lose control over what their children see. On the flip side, budget cuts are eliminating critical school programs. Advertising can generate revenue to maintain these programs. These schools promise that advertisers will be screened and only age-appropriate content will be permitted.

Should schools draw the line on this issue, or should they allow advertising to support important programs?

Explain in an additional paragraph whether you agree with advertising to support programs such as music and art in schools and whether you agree or disagree with advertising for the sake of schools raising money for other reasons
