I didn't realize the UN was quite -that- broken as to declare that
everyone has a "right" to the fruits of the labor of others.  Either the
teachers must work for free, or the people would be compelled to fund
them.

If theft is a recognized human right, I'll just help myself to whatever
furniture is in the UN building the next time I need to flesh out a room
in my house.
