This is a great exercise this Professor has presented to his students that illustrates my point in another thread of the "incrementalization" of socialist ideology into our mainstream culture. He provides testimony that this is being advanced by our public schools, which we know receive their mandate from the DOE and the teacher's unions.

The schools are by and large not instructing their students on the principles of self reliance and individual achievement that have been the hallmarks of the American Dream, but instead have fostered a climate of entitlement coupled with an inherent unfairness in the American model of self determination.

I see this thread being moved to "Political" very shortly, which will be a shame.
