Aaaah, these teachers are sooooo wise! /sarcasm What a bunch of commies. Instead of using this as an opportunity to teach about how to work to prevent land-grabbing, or brainstorm about how to prevent or rectify 'inequities of private ownership' or some such idea, they've decided to teach the children to abolish private ownership althogether! Uncle Joe Stalin must be sooo pleased, from his hotspot in hell...
Private Ownership rights have been linked to civil liberties all through western civilization, starting with the Magna Carta and beyond. You first owned yourself, then you owned property, then you owned civil liberties.
"The teachers decided its destruction was an opportunity to explore "the inequities of private ownership."
Fair enough. Pay them the same salaries that teachers get in South Dakota. They're all equal, afterall, and it's time to end the inequities they themselves are perpetuating.
