Dodgeball (which I think is great fun) was just an example of the things govt schools remove which relate to competition. Can't have anyone losing "self esteem" cause they just got beaned in the head with the giant red ball.

Dodgeball strategy kind of mirrors socialism: you're constantly going after the better players on the other team while leaving the fat, slow kids alone for the end when the athletic kids have been eliminated.

It's kind of like the American tax system.

Heh, maybe they should start playing dodgeball in civics class, if civics class hasn't been replaced by tolerance camp or something.
