Literacy of College Graduates Is on Decline

Literacy of College Graduates Is on Decline: "'It's appalling -- it's really astounding,' said Michael Gorman, president of the American Library Association and a librarian at California State University at Fresno.

Are those in charge of education Fools or Fiends?

If fools then maybe we are seeing an extreme form of the Peter Principle. If fiends then they are actively trying to destroy world civilization.

Either way you have to teach your children the basics and then they can survive and prosper.
