THIS type of teaching is what SHOULD going on in our schools.
I live in Massachusetts, and my wife and I were given a year-long membership to a very liberal somewhat avant-garde art museum by my sister-in-law. I guess as long as it's not my money going to it, I won't look a gift horse in the mouth. For those of you who are interested, it is the DeCordova Museum in Lincoln, Massachusetts .
It is almost the kind of place where you expect to see extreme moonbat liberal antiwar and anti-military “art”, but not quite. I have to admit, I was surprised as we drove up to see that active military personnel were admitted free of charge with their families. So I'll give them credit for that.
When we drove up, this is the sign that was in front of the museum, a kind of performance art thing where you could go up and push a button to vote.
The nature of the sign is self-evident (at least it was to me) and what I found disturbing about it was the tally of the votes. You are asked to vote yes or no whether capitalism was working for you, or not. Lincoln, Massachusetts is one of the wealthiest towns in the state. I know that most of the people who go to the museum don't live in that town, but I do know that most of the people who can pay $14 per person to go to the museum aren't going to be classified as poor.
It boggled my mind to think that these people who drove here in expensive luxury cars powered by extremely expensive gasoline, living in nice houses, wearing nice clothes and are able to have leisure time to be able to go to someplace like this, and have the absolute gall to say that “capitalism doesn't work for them”.
Jeff, I think you would be able to school these people pretty effectively!
I do suspect however, that you would have to talk to them at the same level you spoke to your grandchildren! Again, great job with your grandchildren. That was just great to hear!
