Yes, we are allowing liberals to destroy civilization. They are willing to have millions of lives extinguished to get their socialism.

It’s the 21st century version of the 20th century liberal.

Only if you’re too lazy to make sure your children know how to read.

It’s not entirely up to the school you send them to. It’s also your responsibility.

Kids have no interest in reading. Kids are interested in TikTok and YouTube shorts.

Dexter Manley made the NFL Hall of Fame, no clue how to read.

It was actually sad, he got real upset.

Illiterate and uneducated people vote Democrat! That’s how they’re being propagandized and conditioned.

Kids are not taught to read and often live in homes that contain no books.

Last week we went to a birthday party where the people who's birthday we were celebrating was suppose to read their birthday cards. The youngest was 12, the oldest was in his late thirties.

None of them were able to read without stumbling over words and getting help.

One of our grandchildren was struggling with reading in the second grade, so we bought some reprints of old Catholic school readers and spent some time with her. She’s reading fine now and knows a lot of biblical stories.

BTW, I recall a study that was conducted a few years ago on the greatest predictor of literacy in children. It wasn’t reading to them and it wasn’t early childhood education. The children who read the best came from homes that had a lot of reading material in them.

Indeed. Satan is very very busy, because he knows he’s running out of time, and he wants to take as many people as he can with him, and it’s all because he thought he was entitled to rule over all of creation.

Why do you think, that back in the day, “they” did not want the slaves to be literate?

Yep.

Kids are curious little humans and they see books on lower shelves they will pull them off and look at them. Bright colors and pictures help but even books with just prose will be leafed through.

I was too.

My nine year old can read better then the adults there. These are not poor people who did not have a proper education. They attended decent public schools.

Literacy has become complex. There are some youth who are literate in video games that are now the basis of most Business software. Some are just literate in the alphabetic world. Some are literate in both. Some are illiterate in all.

I am mostly illiterate in new Business software based on find the hidden key, the hidden coin. And the game is really to kill the Business User. The game is to see how long the Business User can stay alive before killed.

And many of my younger colleagues are illiterate in SQL and text approaches.

And then there are a few that can do both.

A firm with which I interface seems lost and unable to do antything.

That's the story out there. We learned in school that slaves were denied education and they were all poor.

Actually there were many wealthy blacks. Some owned plantations and thousands of blacks were slave owners. I don't believe anything anymore that the education establishment or the government tell us.

While the education system may be partly to blame for your ignorance you have to take some personal responsibility.

You have been out of school for some time and information is freely available.

Why are you still assuming that all blacks were slaves?

They were not.

All red, yellows, browns and whites were not free either.

And there were any number of slaves that had side jobs that allowed them to buy their freedom.
