>We saw the decimation of Lego-town as an opportunity to launch a critical evaluation of Legotown and the inequities of private ownership and hierarchical authority on which it was founded.

Wealth redistribution is fun and games, until they take everything you have and also kill you and your family.

Surely these teachers who reject private ownership share all their wealth and own as little as possible?

Hierarchical authority as part of private ownership is especially hilarious as the teachers make brutal decisions like taking all of Legotown away. Disowning and redistribution requires the hardest and cruelest of authorities.

lol. Teachers spend a huge proportion of their already-underpaid salaries buying classroom supplies to benefit their students.

Really? A "huge" portion? How much is that? 50%?

Teachers are not underpaid. Teachers in the state in question make an average of $54,147. The US median income is 35K, so teachers earn far above it. Work as a couple and you're in the 100K household income zone. That's a position of privilege.

Not to mention that most people don't get to call work "philosophizing about Marxism and lego world". They have to actually work.

Many teachers spend 20%+ of their discretionary funds after non-discretionary living expenses on classroom supplies.

I don't think I've spent more than 1% of my discretionary funds on office goodies, even on my more generous months.
