Legos - The Building Blocks of Capitalist Pigs

Here's an absolutely unbelievable article in TCS Daily regarding a school where they banned Lego's.

Here's the money quote

According to the article, the students had been building an elaborate "Legotown," but it was accidentally demolished. The teachers decided its destruction was an opportunity to explore "the inequities of private ownership." According to the teachers, "Our intention was to promote a contrasting set of values: collectivity, collaboration, resource-sharing, and full democratic participation."

The children were allegedly incorporating into Legotown "their assumptions about ownership and the social power it conveys." These assumptions "mirrored those of a class-based, capitalist society -- a society that we teachers believe to be unjust and oppressive."

I have to believe this is some kind of a prank, read the other headlines. If it's not, no wonder people are moving to home schooling in the droves.
