What goes around, comes around!
Let’s see, my schooling in the forties required me to be able to read, same in the fifties, sixties, and seventies.
Then, sometime after LBJ, everyone needed to feel good about themselves, and advanced, and whatever. Ebonics became an accepted language, yet books still were written in a dumbed down English, that the hood didn’t understand.
So schools stopped using books and relied on teachers from the “hood” to motivate the students - students that were too focused on Lathisha’s booty to look at the blackboard (blackboard=racist).
Now, ain’t nobody know nothing, as they be focused on their Obamaphone to send tweets in their own language to the hoodies about hookin’ up after school, as there ain’t no jobs to go to, and ain’t no motivation to start your own business, like window washing, or whatever!
Wow! Dem Russian Commies had themselves a good deal!
Illiteracy was the first step in the decline of our civilization in the forties, eventually ending up in low information voters in the 21st century. This is so obvious it had to be planned.
