The Wussification of America continues - School bans legos

Or should I say Amerika:

http://article.nationalreview.com/print/?q=YmQwMGVjNTU5YTQ5ZWU3MDE1NjBjNjkwZTQ0MmJhNWE=

Союз нерушимый республик свободных
Сплотила навеки Великая Русь.
Да здравствует созданный волей народов
Единый, могучий Советский Союз!

Славься, Отечество наше свободное,
Дружбы народов надёжный оплот!
Партия Ленина - сила народная
Нас к торжеству коммунизма ведёт!

Сквозь грозы сияло нам солнце свободы,
И Ленин великий нам путь озарил,
На правое дело он поднял народы,
На труд и на подвиги нас вдохновил.

Славься, Отечество наше свободное,
Дружбы народов надёжный оплот!
Партия Ленина - сила народная
Нас к торжеству коммунизма ведёт!

В победе бессмертных идей коммунизма
Мы видим грядущее нашей страны
И Красному знамени славной Отчизны
Мы будем всегда беззаветно верны!

Славься, Отечество наше свободное,
Дружбы народов надёжный оплот!
Партия Ленина - сила народная
Нас к торжеству коммунизма ведёт!

I weep for our future

Quote from the article (when you read it in English)...

"In their Rethinking Schools article, teachers Ann Pelo and Kendra Pelojoaquin describe how the kids at Hilltop built “a massive series of Lego structures we named Legotown.” I sensed that something was rotten in the state of Legotown when I read this description of it: “a collection of homes, shops, public facilities, and community meeting places.”

Oh dear - I wonder if they'd have let my kid try to blow it up?

The Russian is the Soviet national anthem - I wonder if they make the kids sing that.

So you could also have called this thread "The Russification of America continues"...

It's a weird world, China grabs hold of the Capitalism with massive enthusiasm, old Mother Russia descends into mob controlled anarchy whilst being run by an ex KGB thug and the good old US of A's school system starts indoctrinating its pupils with old school commie values.

Don't worry we haven't got a ****ing clue back here in good old Europe either!
