Because.........

Anyway, this social experiment has been done for decades with college students and lucky high school students. It's about time middle school and elementary school kids were given it. I wouldn't think to try it with a day care because they aren't old enough to grasp the larger point. But, if the teachers thought this could provide an early, memorable (yet fun and not traumatizing) lesson then that's great.

The American learning system spends too much time teaching about ponies pissing rainbows--maybe that will change one day when people stop being afraid of everydamnthing and begin to challenge young intellect in preparation for the future. There are waaaayyyy too many dumbass college students for America to be such a powerful nation.
