Patriots, we need to talk about something that should make every American parent's blood boil. Despite decades of promises and billions in taxpayer dollars, our education system is deliberately keeping your children functionally illiterate.
The numbers are staggering: 25% of young adults - many of them high school graduates - can't read more than basic, short sentences. That's not incompetence, folks. That's by design.
Back in the 1970s, Rudolf Flesch's book "Why Johnny Can't Read" exposed how progressive educators were abandoning proven phonics instruction for trendy, feel-good methods that simply don't work. Fifty years later, the same education cartel is doubling down on failure because illiterate citizens are easier to control.
The Deep South Shows the Way Forward
Here's what the establishment doesn't want you to know: states that have embraced the actual science of reading are seeing remarkable results. While blue states continue their failed experiments with "whole language" learning and critical race theory, conservative states in the Deep South are proving that when you teach kids to actually read using time-tested methods, they succeed.
But the curriculum cartel - the same people pushing transgender ideology and climate change propaganda in classrooms - is fighting these reforms tooth and nail. Why? Because parents who can't read can't research what's really happening in their children's schools.
"An educated citizenry is a vital requisite for our survival as a free people," Thomas Jefferson once said. The left knows this - which is why they're working overtime to keep Americans ignorant.
This isn't just about reading, Patriots. It's about freedom. When young adults can't comprehend complex information, they can't participate meaningfully in our republic. They become dependent on government programs and susceptible to whatever propaganda the mainstream media feeds them.
President Trump and his education team have a golden opportunity to drain this particular swamp. It's time to break up the education monopoly, empower parents with school choice, and return to proven methods that actually teach children to read.
The question every parent should be asking: If the experts have known how to fix this problem for decades, why haven't they? The answer might terrify you - but it's time we faced the truth about what they're really doing to our kids.
