No one reads anymore. Society doesn’t even seem to think that’s a problem.
It’s not that people aren’t reading, it’s that people aren’t reading woke crap. Go to any bookstore and tell me what you find. It’s all DEI. The entire progressive culture is in freefall collapse.
Associated Propaganda cannot die soon enough.
Applied Propaganda has book reviews, who knew?
My nephew was joining the Marines right out of high school. As a gift, I gave him the complete DVDs for JAG. He loved it.
So then I collected the entire Marine series of books, The Corps, by WEB Griffin, for him. I love the series and have read it so often it’s just old and familiar now. He didn’t read a single one.
Turned out he’ll watch TV but he won’t open a book. My interest in that part of my family evaporated rapidly. How do you communicate with a non-reader?
Propaganda outlets have to deal with MARKET FORCES now that USAID is gone.
Ah, yes. Just as another powerful conservative author reaches NUMBER ONE on the best sellers list.

The lying leftists said “It only stands to reason Trump would want to end the US Department of Education. Only illiterate fools would vote for his party and he wants to keep Americans dumbed down.”
The bosses of AP strained and strained themselves finding book reviewers who could not only read sentences but also write or dictate to someone who could write down the review words.
Exhausting.
I have read several times that some school districts and colleges say they no longer require reading “a book” which they call “long form reading.” Students now read 2-4 pages of Wikipedia or similar sources where someone else has condensed the content as the students no longer have the habit of reading a full book.
Look at this.....AP itself wrote about that.

The Elite College Students Who Can’t Read Books
To read a book in college, it helps to have read a book in high school.

...((About Nicholas Dames a college professor))...
He loves the job, but it has changed. Over the past decade, students have become overwhelmed by the reading. College kids have never read everything they’re assigned, of course, but this feels different. Dames’s students now seem bewildered by the thought of finishing multiple books a semester. His colleagues have noticed the same problem. Many students no longer arrive at college—even at highly selective, elite colleges—prepared to read books.
This development puzzled Dames until one day during the fall 2022 semester, when a first-year student came to his office hours to share how challenging she had found the early assignments. Lit Hum often requires students to read a book, sometimes a very long and dense one, in just a week or two. But the student told Dames that, at her public high school, she had never been required to read an entire book. She had been assigned excerpts, poetry, and news articles, but not a single book cover to cover.
Hey! I have another way they could help their declining budget—start telling the truth!
