Fox News Says Sarasota Schools Are Anti-Capitalist

Fox News' Glen Beck claims that Sarasota Public Schools are promoting anti-capitalism by including The Story Of Stuff ( http://www.storyofstuff.com/ ) in their curriculum.

Beck says: "My question is, as I'm reading this, basically, what it is saying is this indoctrination stuff is basically saying you don't have value and people aren't happy unless they buy stuff, and that's because we have become this industrialized nation. Now, they believe that if we just stop producing stuff, if we stop being so capitalist, we stop taking resources from other third world countries, we'll be happy.

I contend that the reason why America is not as happy as it was in 1950 or 1920 or whenever, 100 years ago, is because our priorities are wrong, but it has nothing to do with exploiting the planet and has everything to do with losing faith in God. Can you imagine, Keith, if your son or daughter had a test where it said, "Why aren't people happy," and the right answer was, because they've lost their faith in a higher power — do you think there'd be an outcry?"
