Wish K8 were here for this one. Very much an angle she constantly tries to take in her teaching, much to the chagrin, confusion, and denial of many of the educational powers that be.

On a bus one day, saw a mom play a crap dub-step version of "wheels on the bus," and kept repeating this song over, and over again the entire bus ride. It was clearly indoctrinating, and brainwashing the child that "this is good" (good music, good content, etc.). It's hard to witness this, such a helpless feeling.
