In Response To: Attendance ... Perhaps it is the Money (Rich Munitz)

"They've got backgammon boards in the schools in Denmark. Why not here in the USA? Candyland and Trouble (Backgammon Junior) have dice. Monopoly has dice and money. Dice are not against the law. Let's make tournaments affordable to local school teachers and get them excited. "

You may be surprised to learn that even the word "dice" is forbidden in some elementary schools. If a teacher wants to use a die for a math example it is to be referred to as a "number cube". So I have some doubts about getting backgammon into schools.
