Knights of Holography
Sir Edward:

Interesting. An organization of holography researchers, but they treat it as an order of knighthood. Who'd have thought?
Sir William:
Even in this day of cynicism and paranoia, the idea of knighthood makes people aspire to it- when I went to vote last Tuesday, at a local elementary school, they had a knighthood style charter (even had the word knight in it) for their 3rd graders...a simple set of rules that they must follow.
Naturally, I was interested enough to read it through but it kinda touched me...even these young ones got some exposure to something knightly. To me, that is most worthwhile.
Sir Edward:
Yeah, that really is awesome. I've come across a few things like that in random googling, where they've done knighthood-related things at schools. Here's an example, where they did accolades for middle-schoolers:

Sir William:
Oh yes, that's what I'm talkin about! What better way to introduce kids to history than through a program like that? Get them interested when they're young...
I don't know about you, but a knight was the coolest thing in the world to me when I was young...funny, still is.
Sir Edward:
As a kid I was always more excited about wizards than knights, but I found all of it interesting. :)
