  Elite, elitist - Arts - www.theage.com.au
A suggestion to explain the weak showing is that the programs, and the arts themselves, are perceived as "elitist".
The terms of the discussion - "elitism" and "elitist" - are among the most interesting and highly charged words in our social vocabulary.
At its most simplistic, it is "elitist" to suggest that something with a limited audience might be better than something more popular.

 Lunaris - ...The Infinite - review @ Tartareandesire.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
This debut album from Lunaris is one of the very first releases on the new Earache subsidiary Elitist Records which is run by Lee Barrett, the founder of Candlelight Records.
Elitist represents exactly the kind of fresh new thinking that Earache is in need of right now since they have stepped down in quality during the late 90's.
The first signings of Elitist shows a lot of promise and even though Lunaris is a new band the members of the band are no newcomers to the metal scene.

 EducationGuardian.co.uk | News crumb | Language proposals branded elitist
Proposals by headteachers to change the assessment of modern languages in schools will result in the subject becoming elitist, a leading language teacher warned today.
The National Association of Headteachers has submitted a report to the Department for Education and Skills that advocates traditional GCSE and A-level language teaching be scrapped in favour of a "graded test" approach, similar to that used to assess musical ability.
Following the government's green paper on education for 14 to 19-year-olds, which recommended the phasing out of languages from the curriculum, ALL published research showing this had already begun in some schools.

He accuses some of the prime minister's advisers of being 'beneficiaries of an elitist education, whose policy initiatives perpetuate and exacerbate the inequalities of the English education system'.
The words will be seen as a swipe at Andrew Adonis, the former Oxford don who heads the prime minister's policy unit, whose clashes with Estelle Morris over top-up fees are thought to have helped trigger her recent resignation as education secretary.
Warning that 'the elitists have started shaping the government's health policies', the former health secretary also criticises plans for foundation hospitals because they concentrate resources on a hand ful of high-performing hospitals.

 Maine Activist Condemns Elitist Lawmakers Pushing Homosexual Agenda
And as a result of their and other groups' pro-family efforts, in 1998 and again in 2000 the voters of Maine said no to same-sex marriage.
However, activists and elitist politicians are at it again, the pro-family spokesman says, "and now our current governor is ignoring those two previous decisions made by all the people of Maine voting in those two elections, and passed the exact same bill that was twice rejected in the legislature without a referendum provision."
What that means, Heath contends, is that the 186 "elitist politicians in the State House have decided that the people are wrong and they are right.

Although the Haiti coup was widely portrayed as an irresistible upsurge of popular discontent, it was of course the result of years of hard work by Bush's dedicated corrupters of democracy, as William Bowles reports in Information Clearinghouse.
There was no question that Aristide and his party received an overwhelming majority of legitimate votes; however, out of the 7,500 offices up for grabs, election observers did find that seven senate results seemed of dodgy provenance.
It was the last straw for the elitist factions, one of which is actually led by an American citizen and former Reagan-Bush appointee, manufacturing tycoon Andy Apaid.

Presbyterians are a very privileged part of American society and the authors of this report know it.
Their traditions, their education, and their income give the members of these denominations more social and cultural capital to lessen the rate and consequences of these negative family trends.
These groups want more than superficial acceptance and the vague language of inclusiveness; they want concrete help and a theological framework that acknowledges, rather than minimizes, the challenges they face.

The UK's leading music colleges and specialist conservatoires pledged yesterday to try to shed their "middle-class and elitist" public image as they launched an admissions service designed to attract aspiring professional musicians from a wider range of social backgrounds.
They also urged the government to build on its work in music education designed to engage all young people in music-making, which included the launch, last year, of a music manifesto and the appointment of a music tsar.
The link with Ucas and funding from the Higher Education Funding Council for England will also, for the first time, mean that the colleges' track records on widening participation will be made public.

This ties in nicely with the AlterNet/MoveOn agenda - namely that D.C. Democrats really are elitist, in the pockets of the corporations and unable to offer a strong alternative to Bush's take on Thatcherism as conceived by Karl Rove.
They wish to take on the mantle of leadership of the progressive movement by advocating a grassroots driven populism using the internet as an enabling technology for conversation and fundraising.
Yet the progressive, MoveOn supporting, blogosphere is just as guilty of being unresponsive and elitist in it's attitudes, which may well become a crucial flaw in the system.

Though the Supreme Court has previously and improperly cited evolving international opinion as a basis for their rewriting U.S. constitutional law, the Kelo case is a "devolution" of precedent.
This court obviously has a bent toward rationale that may be overheard at international cocktail parties or receptions from foreign elitists who believe that they know better than the Neanderthals in American and wish to substitute their neo-intellectual notions for the will of the American people.
Once again, it is made abundantly clear that judges appointed to the Supreme Court must not only be intelligent, but they must understand that the greatness of this nation's past lies in common sense, not in an elitist oligarchy that holds itself unaccountable to anyone.
