Compulsory History by Liberation.

Teach art history in primary school
9 January 2008 | Teaching

From Libération:

“In school, children learn to read but not to see.” In these pages, the day after the presidential election, the painting historian Pierre Rosenberg, former Louvre president, reminded candidate Sarkozy of his promise to introduce art history into the schools. If a report Libération obtained a copy of is to be believed, “starting in the fall of 2008, teaching the history of the arts” will become “compulsory” in secondary school and even elementary school.
