The addition of that information to my paper will be beneficial when explaining both sides of the argument.

2011. ProQuest Research Library, Udall: Let's Get PHYSICAL: Sen. Tom Udall (D-NM)
News Release. Accessed 15 Mar. 2017. U.S. Senator Tom Udall introduced legislation to the Promoting Health for Youth Skills in Classrooms and Life (physical) Act. The act has earned the backing of more than 40 health organizations. It would improve the quality of school health and physical education programs and make them more accessible to kids across the country. The Physical Act would also make health and physical education core subjects, like history and geography, in order to make them eligible for further federal support. I would use this information to show that the idea of dance education in schools is a current issue in the United States today. I do not see any challenges with using this article as a source for my
