Your robotics team suddenly isn't going to get to apply for a grant that's targeted for public murals or community theater, but graphic design programs are going to be able to compete against your robotics team for STEAM grants.

Here's some examples:

And if you need more proof, here's House Resolution 51 (2014), which is explicitly about adding the Arts into Federal STEM funding.

This is real. This is not a trivial matter. This isn't just an acronym change.

The point these sources seem to be making is that arts related education should take place in programs focused on promoting STEM higher education and careers.

Your concern is that these initiatives will allow programs solely focused on the arts and not promoting STEM higher education and careers, to receive funding meant for STEM programs.

Correct?
