It's not enough that the U.S.' so-called "educational system" is largely
used to create a largely mindless consumerist workforce.  Now, we can make
our children consumer-friendly at the earliest possible age!  How far are we
from the "Microsoft Montessori School?"  What's TRULY frightening about this
article is that the man most responsible for this actually BOASTS about what
he's doing!: "Twenty-five years from now, when this is widespread and
accepted, people will say it all started here," Dr. John Kellmayer, the
school district superintendent, said. "I'm fine with that. I wish we had
started earlier and done more of it."

This is beyond surreal...

Peace.
