I of course, have to include as much LEGO news as I can, now that Wickedpinto has made it near cliche.  So this one is good, and by good, I mean disturbing.  Its an old story I saw a while ago, but I don't think I wrote anything on it, it could be new to all ten of my readers.  Mostly I'm putting it in because Allah put this in Hotair Headlines, and its worth writing about.

 Apparently, some incredibly awesome person donated a huge pile of LEGOs to a school.  As we all know, LEGOs kick ass, and a couple of kids started to build a LEGO city.  Awesome right?  Wrong!  Or, wrong if you are a douchebag public school teacher. 

You see, the young children were displaying certain...undesirable bourgeois behaviors.   The children were showing possession of certain buildings, some were larger and nicer than others, only some of the buildings were 'public' buildings.  "Well, we can't have this!" the teachers declared.  Its encouraging inequality and capitalist values!

One day, the kids came back to find their beloved town was annihilated, presumably by Mothra or a Socialist Douchemonster.

Then, the rebuilding began, under the watchful eye of Big Brother.  All buildings were public buildings, and all of the buildings were to be uniform.  As the piece linked says, its amazing how natural it was for the children to adopt a basic market model.  And yet, the staff of the school was disturbed by this capitalist trend, and felt it was theirs to change into a Socialist model.

 Its sick that these teachers weren't too ashamed to pull this shit, and even worse that they can actually print publications about it.  And worst of all is the fact that there hasn't been a near riot from angry parents wanting to know what this Socialist nonsense is about.

I'll be curious to see when they publish the piece on how the kids decided the new Socialist rules sucked and either abandoned the town or trashed it, or if they try and either quietly or overtly go back to their capitalist bourgeois ways.  Heh, who am I kidding, that'll never get published, it'll go down the memory hole, just like any other little inconvenient fact that contradicts Big Brother.

 If anyone wants to know why I decided teaching wasn't for me...this is why.  The public education system is so messed up, so backward and outdated, so leftist, the only thing that is gonna save it is to let it rot and collapse on itself like the USSR.
