School playground as prison exercise-yard-in-training, Broken Arrow Elementary School, Lawrence Kansas -- a playground as designed by lawyers. Everything pleasurable or delightful has been leached out in order to avoid lawsuits. The result: a place that no child would feel good about being in: a children's sensory-deprivation space.
      An architecture firm called Gould-Evans is allegedly responsible.
