" Hmmmm. This typologically ambiguous building in Pflugerville, Texas
(just north of Austin) is the K-through-6 medium security education facility.
It's encouraging to know that the inmates were slated for "early
release" this year. Ask yourself: what kind of citizens would an
institution like this produce? And where do they go from here?"

Dude, will you lay of the lame Us vs. Them identity politics? The point here
is shitty ass urban design, and what it implies on a broader scale. It's not
about "republifucks" and "democraps", "limperals"
vs "conscurvytives". Jeez o pete!

John, I don't see what the point is. It's an elementary school that has a fence
around the playground (just like most primary schools) so kick balls and
children alike won't wander into the street. Also most schools get out early on
the last day before WINTER Break (formally known as Christmas Vacation). So they
chose to say EARLY RELEASE instead of EARLY DISMISSAL. I really do not
understand where the problem is. Just curious, can you actually explain what is
wrong and what should be changed?

Npf: Kunstler is pointing out how fucking dull the building is. Do you not
see that? Flat brick, sterile windows. Where's the creativity? Where's the
imagination? This is a _school_ where we hope minds will grow to be future
leaders, inventors, educators, etc. Do you not see that raising them in a
cardboard box of a school is diminishing?
What sort of school did you go to? Mine were interesting, for the most part.
Not like this shitbox.

It looks like a prison... seriously, did not the "Early Release" sign
message clue you in?
