“Books? Oh, yes, we have books!”
We have the costliest and most intrusive “education” regime in world history–and what do we get out of it?
Illiterates. Stunatas.
Writing and reading–without them, there’s no civilization. The best we can do is hand down stories by word of mouth; and if you’ve ever played “telephone,” you know how the message gets distorted over time.
Is it necessary to ask, “Well, then, what the dickens are they learning in those public schools, if they don’t read?”
I think we all know the answer to that question.
