It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

The key statement in that article:

The spiritual charter of any cultural institution, important or otherwise, must have certain words etched between the operational lines, including "freedom of expression" and "don't cave to special interests."

Alas, when we reduce government funding of cultural institutions and expect them to operate more like private enterprises in the competitive free market, they do precisely that. Where do these institutions get the money they need to survive? From wealthy individuals, businesses, and foundations. That is, special interests. As those special interests have their own agendas, the money seldom comes with no strings attached.
