Kevin Coster said he hopes President Donald Trump will emphasize the history and educational programs he is advancing.
The “Daces With Wolves” actor and director told AP Tuesday — amid repeated changes the president is moving toward in education — “I wish we had a major shift in education where history dominated more than math.”
The Academy Award-winning actor said that “people who are really good at math will look for math everywhere, because that’s what it is, they’re just wired that way.”
The story was an important topic to highlight, Coster said, since “everyone can understand where things come from.”
Coster, who has explored passions such as the Old West and the state’s national pastime, baseball, in his projects, graduated from Cal State Fulton with a degree in business administration in 1978.

Coster, who played the role of Johnny Depp in the hit series Yellowstop, has played his cards relatively quietly over the past few years amid turbulent political times for both parties.
Earlier this year, Coster, who starred in the 2014 football drama Draft Day alongside Sea “Diddy” Combs, attended the Super Bowl party in New Orleans on February 8.
Speaking to Fox News, Coster emphasized that Hollywood and Washington, D.C., especially, need to be isolated from each other.
“Filmmaking shouldn’t have anything to do with politics,” Coster said, adding that film producers need to work with the arts in taking sharp political stances.
Coster told the outlet: ‘I think you make the best movie you can for the audience and you think… you have a chance.’
‘Every once in a while you get the chance to do something meaningful.
He added: “And sometimes it’s just nonsense. Movies don’t have to be important, but they do have to have sound.”
Coster said that when it came to the experience of going to school, he didn’t think it was “the party at the office” that mattered, but rather “the people sitting in the dark.”
