Reading through some literature of

The Future of Learning Group of the MIT Media Lab

http://learning.media.mit.edu/projects.html

There are astounding statements - in any sense one chooses to take the 
word "astounding".

My favorite is right near the top. 

Point 2, in fact.
"""
2) established practices of parenting must be re-examined.
"""

I like the the phrasing, in particular.

"must be".

Who are these people and who do they think they are???

It is astounding to be an any environment where one feels like one is 
being bizarre in expressing one's perspective on how bizarre such 
statements seem.

They, as they say, prefer environments of "like-minded people".

No, I would not feel welcome.

Luckily none of this has anything to do with Python and education.

And I am being OT.
