I trust you spoke to the person who organized this folly
without sounding too
enraged.

Not yet. That's why I was soliciting advice here.

John,

Can you have a club you belong to put up a small exhibit
in the school and offer a talk to the students? You wouldn't
be off-track to tell them kindly that it is somewhat of an
insult to dedicated bonsai artists and to its centuries of
serious respect. I wouldn't degrade their attempt too
harshly, but be positive and try to bring some education to
them.
I feel somewhat the same about mallsai - it is a chance to
offer some knowledge, and I truly think mallsai and these
useless kits do bring about many interested, curious people
eventually.
