On January 7, 2008 the following blurb was published in Newsweek. I think this relates to our previous class discussions on Marxism vs. Functionalism.
A Seattle day-care center banned Lego building blocks because the beastly children "were building their assumptions about ownership and the social power it conveys, assumptions that mirrored those of a class-based, capitalist society." The center reinstated Legos but allowed the children to build only "public structures" dedicated to "collectivity and consensus."
I wonder how each "ism" would respond to this situation.
