One phenomenon that still shocks me but shouldn't is that our Education Establishment has one peculiar gift: they can riff for hours about literacy and other vital subjects without ever saying anything important.

What our professors tell us is that sometimes birds fly to the east and sometimes they fly to the west and sometimes they move both wings at the same time but sometimes they just glide. In any case we are told just the obvious in weird loops. But we aren’t told causes, or what it means, or where we should go from here.

When Shakespeare talked about a tale told by an idiot, he was talking about our education elite.

Instead of all that, here is the nitty-gritty, the basics of reading that everyone should know.

a new spin on the all-American, sexy, fast-talking detective story by creating

Let's Fix Education explains to Americans why their schools are so bad. The people in charge prefer mediocrity because they are socialists of one kind or another. If people work together to promote real education, we'll have it.

Transcript

LET'S FIX EDUCATION -- by -- Bruce Deitrick Price
Episode 106 June 12, 2023
Reading is under attack in our public schools

Ladies and gentlemen...

There are 50 million functional illiterates in America. Clearly, the people in charge are incompetent. Or ideologically misguided.

As a practical matter, Americans who value literacy should think of themselves as the Resistance fighting Nazis in France.
