Križanićeva Hall of Fame

Unfortunately, what you might have heard is true. The legendary Križanićeva turned out to be a cultural monument. Now writing on the Zagreb's best HoFa is considered completely unacceptable.
We agree that the building itself is a cultural monument, there's no doubt about that. But guys, there's fucking school there! It's about a bunch of kids constantly being burdened with variety of bans. Is it really neophodno to remove graffiti from the playground?
You can imagine poor kids spending their pocket money on sprays - ughh... sorry, aerosol paints, and trying hard to leave some high-quality trace on these walls.
Križanićeva was visited by the world's best writers as well. It became more popular than the resident grammar school ever will be. Speaking in marketing terms, it was our great export product.
And now someone says graffiti HAVE TO be overpainted? Someone who thinks graffiti art has a bad influence and inhibits the young people's development. Nevertheless, no one seemed to be bothered while they were making clips or TV commercials on this very playground. You know, directors preferred productions on this very playground because of well-tended garden, not some graffiti... Btw, someone must have walk off with some considerable amount, whether it be the school itself or an individual misuse of Croatian cultural meyhem.
Somehow we cannot help thinking about one of the most wretched paintjobs we've ever seen - not to mention the façade coming off the walls or holes made by shrapnels - the war memories from mid-90-s. The Ministry of Education could of course initiate some maintenance program, but it surely costs a lot... And elections are close... But there's the easiest way to do it - paint the walls, use some whitewash for superiors and brainwash the kids.
Yet we're strongly confinced that the day will come when young and smart people will be on the job of the present headmistress. We're waiting for people more sensitive to kids as the present school management is more suitable for old people's home.
