NEWSWEEK ARTICLE

We try to stay somewhat nonpolitical in our postings but I thought you would enjoy the attached essay by George Will. If you watch the news programs you know that Mr. Will is a conservative. Even so, I thought this piece called Ready, Fire, Aim was alarming. To give you a sample...

A Seattle day-care center banned Lego building blocks because the beastly children "were building their assumptions about ownership and the social power it conveys, assumptions that mirrored those of a class-based, capitalist society." The center reinstated Legos but allowed the children to build only "public structures" dedicated to "collectivity and consensus."
