I have read history of how reading was taught in England during the Middle Ages. They were taught the sounds of the letters first, then they put sounds together to form words. Imagine that.

So, we spent centuries being able to teach kids to read properly, and then some knuckle head named John Dewey comes along. And with the intent of socializing American school children away from American ideals, he worked to trip up the way children read. Because if he could keep children from reading properly they would be unable to read their Founding documents and they would lose their hard fought inheritance. It was all done by design.

I agree it was done intentionally. An illiterate population is much easier to control. Add The Bible to the list of what they didn’t want people to read.
