A thousand years ago, the serfs worked in the fields and never learned how to read. The guys up in the castle liked it that way.
Two hundred years ago, the guys who owned the plantations didn't like it when the slaves learned to read. Frederick Douglass talked about that a lot.
Today, the government schools work hard to make sure that many people have no significant ability to read, and no love of learning.
It's by design.

Yes, I’m sorry to say this is the almost inescapable conclusion.
Many people hate to use the word “conspiracy.” But the existence of 50,000,000 functional illiterates suggests that our Education Establishment is hugely incompetent OR hugely subversive.
As some wit has suggested: “Nobody’s that incompetent.”
