Patent brainwashing in elementary schools (???)
Alas! The terrible things they're teaching my children in schools these days, probably funded by Microsoft's OnMyWay program!
I went to visit my son's class today, and discovered that they had been submitting proposals for patents, their teachers clearly no fans of innovation.... :-)

- Learning about patents and getting your kids to think about novel ideas is bad? Wow, Matt. Really?
