We covered this several weeks ago ... but it seems to be making news again. So ... let's talk about socialist indoctrination in our schools – this time a private school – again.
Some teachers at a private school in Seattle
<<have banned the use of Legos in class by children.>> The reason? It turns out the children had developed a Lego town and were learning about capitalism. The teachers couldn't have this, so they banned the Legos...because they wanted the students to learn that owning private property was evil. They also said that Lego town had become a class-based, capitalist society and they (the teachers) believed that was unjust and oppressive. This is what your precious cargo is learning when you drop them off in the morning.
Now, this is what you would expect from your friendly neighborhood government school, not a private one. But this does show you that every facet of education is being infected with socialist liberals. So here is just an example of the nonsense that the kids who attend the Hilltop Children's Center in Seattle are being programmed with:
The teachers decided that the children's assumptions about owning private property "mirrored those of a class-based, capitalist society, a society that we teachers believe to be unjust and oppressive." That's right, they actually said this.
After these kids displayed such horrifying tendencies with their Lego town, the teachers decreed that "All structures are public structures" and "all structures will be standard sizes." Sound familiar? Somewhere Karl Marx is smiling.
The teachers said that in banning the Legos, "our intention was to promote a contrasting set of values: collectivity, collaboration, resource-sharing, and full democratic participation." If that doesn't send shivers down your spine, I don't know what would.
So there you have it...Socialism 101 being taught to young children who don't know better. But they do deserve points for their sudden burst of entrepreneurship with their Lego town. It's too bad it was accidentally demolished. Perhaps the teachers took it over through eminent domain and are building a communist re-education center.
