the children were building their assumptions about ownership and the social power it conveys — assumptions that mirrored those of a class-based, capitalist society — a society that we teachers believe to be unjust and oppressive.
I am glad The Boy is in the parochial system.
It would be awful if the children understood and believed in our current form of government, wouldn’t it? /sarc
Keep an eye on things. Parochial school ain't what it used to be. (Sister Estelle would disapprove of my use of the word "ain't".) Liberation Theology, Sex Positive education, Feminism, etc.. Beware.
“The Boy”
Ah. Yer one of those guys. So is my Dad. I’m just shy of 40 and he’s just shy of 60 and still, walking into their home after a recent fishing trip I hear my Dad report the following to my mother, “The Boy” caught his limit and half of mine!”
When I was younger it bothered me. Now....I know it’s something I’ll miss when he’s no longer around to say it.
Idiots! The very society that they think is unjust and oppressive is what makes our country great. Without competition in a free capitalist system you end up with the dredges of humanity spread to all corners. NO one would be able to lift themselves out of disparity, leaving misery for all.
Where do these morons come from and why are they teaching our children?
“I stopped reading at this sentence:”
Same here.
Ah, but I think the following is even better:
“We met as a teaching staff later that day. We saw the decimation of Lego-town as an opportunity to launch a critical evaluation of Legotown and the inequities of private ownership and hierarchical authority on which it was founded.”
Our Founding Fathers are writhing in their graves.
It's unbelievable how the educational system is so antagonistic toward capitalism and enamored with the failed socialistic ideologies.
So, these teachers just observed that their socialism and anti-capitalism are
antithetical to human nature.
When do teachers have the unfettered curriculum right to bash american ecconomics? They have curriculum committees etc.
If a teacher taught an unapproved lesson plan about george wasshington they would be fired.
