Plagiarism in the American School System, Can Museums Help Prevent It?

Plagiarism. Always a huge problem. Property rights are fuzzy for digital natives regularly accessing: SMS, MMS, Wikis, Blogs, Vlogs, Creative Commons, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter... Although great resources (occassionally)they help break the bridge between research and primary source. How can museums create programming on this subject? Would this be one method of continuing relevance into the 21st century? Thoughts?

Museums Minority Report

I know that I will get flack for this, but when is enough enough? Its the same old argument...if anything can be a work of art, what is art? The line should be drawn. An alternative suggestion would be for current museums to beef up their interpretation of minority cultures.
