There's still fierce debate over whether or not a thing exists that can be called "American culture," or whether or not such a thing even should exist. Until that's settled, I'm not sure it's a good idea to make a Cabinet-level post about it.
Then again, I've long been suspicious of the idea of engineering culture from above.
- sp332 13y agoYou seem to be thinking of a post that defines and encourages or even enforces a specific set of things as "American culture". But I think it would be useful to have a person who just stands up for cultural things in general. For example, funding for art and music in public schools has been on the decline for a long time. It might be good to have a cabinet-level position that had some clout to push back.
