Thomas L. Friedman:The Shanghai Secret. The (L.) Friedman lovefest with the authoritarian regime in China continues. This time his fixation is with their educational system. Which we must admit has the greatest advantage over our system that there can be. That advantage? Failure is not rewarded.

Let this NYT loon renounce his US citizenship and go live in China. If it is that great what the hell is he doing here?
He still can't divorce himself with the 1st Amendment. That is why.
Or divorce his bodyguards from the 2nd, while he's trying to do that to us.
Friedman must have really loved Bernhard Rust.
Also, if a kid doesn't behave he can be taken out and shot. It's as if the Crips or the Bloods or the Insane Latin Warlords were in charge of discipline in the public schools.
It may seem extreme, but it's much more effective than what our schools are doing.
