I don't think we should compare this with experiments or lesson plans used on college students or high school students who have knowledge of ( or should) the fact that they are in a class. The article involves 4-8 year olds in daycare. These kids expect to color and build legos until their parents pick them up. I believe these teachers have a hard-on for communism ( shared power, denying private ownership, collectivism, equal housing) and are using these kids as lab rats just to justify their own political beliefs. And did the parents know about this? I'm gonna say NO.
Dr Phil- reason I think that is because they had stated how displeased they were with the power struggle within legotown and had wanted to get rid of the legos. Also, popular marxist belief is that the only way to succesfully transition to a socialist/communist society from a capitalist one is through revolution. I see the destruction of the Legos as that revolution. Waaay too convenient to be an "accident".
