"A very sad day indeed for architectural education"

"A very sad day indeed for architectural education," said Benny in dismay. "FLW must be rolling in his grave at the news."
"This isn't right," agreed Wow. "I can only imagine how tough this is on the students. What an amazing institution, an impeccable example of the American community and education. Something this country needs now more than ever."
Evil P was also frustrated: "Pathetic. FLW Foundation is the gift shop. The school was the real deal, an institution founded by the very architect whose legacy the foundation claims to want to preserve. Maybe they could turn Taliesin into a hotel with cool pretend-you're-an-architect VR headsets and maybe a water slide." As was Jzakary: "It's wonderful to see an 88-year-old institution destroyed because of massive egos and political infighting. :( "
