"The Right to Read" is a polemic based on lies and another phony civil rights claim. https://tultican.com/2023/05/27/the-right-to-read-is-horse-manure/ #privatization

@tultican While I would have to agree that 3 hours a day of phonics would be mind numbingly boring and ineffective, I have to disagree vehemently that there is no reading crisis. The average literacy level in the US is 6th grade. You cannot survive in a 21st century economy if that's the best you can do. Employers do not train people anymore. They expect you to know where to find information & educate yourself. Also, people at this level cannot read & comprehend books, articles or even handouts on important political & economic topics. They are effectively excluded from informed decision making. They cannot separate nonsense & conspiracy theories from facts. They are easily led by those who tell them what they want to hear instead of what they need to hear. Or they tune out & don't participate at all.It is ineffective for poorly worded posts with bad grammar & misused words to be created for any type of social justice cause. Those are used by opponents to ridicule. Etc and so on.

@ShekinahCanCook I completely disagree with most of your assertions and if true, letting corporate America deform reading education is surely not the answer.

@tultican I am not advocating for corporate run schools. I am pointing out the schools we have are not working, for lots of people and for lots of reasons.Disagree if you like, but it won't change the facts on the ground. I would hardly call Gallup a biased source. "About 130 million adults in the U.S. have low literacy skills according to a Gallup analysis of data from the U.S. Department of Education. This means more than half of Americans between the ages of 16 and 74 (54%) read below the equivalent of a sixth-grade level."#reading #education #literacy https://www.apmresearchlab.org/10x-adult-literacy

@ShekinahCanCook @tultican yes, but dont think private schools should exist, just like private justice and private military and private medical and private police ...the move to private is just a move toward autocracy and theocracy ...

@dibi58 @tultican I doubt you're ever going to get US courts to agree that religious minorities or whatever don't have a right to send their kids to a private school that teaches what they want, however unscientific it may be.But they're trying to take public schools back to the days of christian religious indoctrination for all students regardless of family of origin, and that should not be permitted in any way.

@dibi58 @tultican And just like last time, refugees are going to be turned away from other countries. We're going to have to fix this ourselves.

@ShekinahCanCook @dibi58 A certain strain of Christian indoctrination is embraced by a minority. Once we cleanse America of tRump corruption, I think they will retreat into oblivion.

@tultican @dibi58 Unfortunately that "minority" includes Opus Dei in high places, and Supreme Court justices like Amy Coathanger Barrett who are members of similar cults.

@ShekinahCanCook @tultican "the corporation" juridical persona is just like fantasy friend god and serves the same purpose in the religion of economics as an invisible hand that steals people wallet like the pickpocketers of cairo ...
