International museum day, which took place on May 18, opened the doors of thousands of museums across the world free to the public. In civilized societies, this is certainly a good thing. But here in China, letting in the uncivilized masses to venues hosting precious works of art is just asking for trouble.

Indeed, at the Shanghai Museum of Glass (you can already guess what happened), two children around 5 years old were allowed by their parents to climb under rope barriers to play with a glass sculpture called "Angel is Waiting." Instead of stopping them, the parents merrily took photos of their little angels grabbing at the glass Angel until it inevitably shattered to the ground.

Unrepairable, artist Shelly Xue, who spent 27 months crafting the glasswork, decided to leave it as is and rename it "Broken," an aptly titled testament to Chinese parenting.

Though China's new two-child policy will hopefully remedy the problem, nearly everyone can agree that the youngest generations of Chinese have been inadvertently raised by their parents to be spoiled brats. Calling them "little emperors" used to be a popular euphemism, but the word emperor implies some degree of dignity and refinement, which most post-Millennials definitely do not have.

...

Take, for instance, the recent news about what occurred at the Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts in Guangdong Province. A class of secondary school students were brought by their teacher to a ceramic exhibit. As you can probably already cringe, several works were roughly handled by the students despite all the "Do Not Touch" signs posted, inevitably ending in many broken pieces.

Such cases illustrate that Chinese parents and teachers seem utterly incapable of disciplining children. Not too long ago, public schools used to have a class called "morals training" where we were taught public decency. But today, students and schools have become so obsessed by scores that etiquette has been brushed to the wayside.

3. "Band"?

Or banned?

Perhaps it's the early hour.

8. Wave as you go by

I remember a McDonald's over there that has MSNBC on the TVs instead of Fox.

Of course, you remember how red it is out here in the Antelope Valley--though that's gradually changing.

Safe travels!

9. I'll do that!

4. Can I jump on that bannedwagon?

5. China has a massive population, the most populated in the world.

Statistically they are going to have more brats, though not necessarily more brats per capita than any other country. We can't generalize from anecdotes, of course.

10. I was at an art museum in Utah a couple of years ago

where they had kids running around doing watercolors in the galleries. I cringed, but I was assured that Utah kids are fairly well-behaved.
