Doubling illiteracy: If you keep'm stupid, I'll keep'm poor...

Numbing down by dumbing down.

80 percent of American blacks had achieved literacy by 1940, but...

FPF-March 20 - 2005 - It was thanks to intelligent american singers like Tom Paxton, that some decades ago already skeptical people could enjoy texts about what 'innocent' children learned at school.

Paxton gave a good example concerning indoctrination in the schools:

''I learned that Washington never told a lie;

I learned that soldiers seldom die;

I learned that everybody's free,

And that's what the teacher said to me''...

Tom Paxton, and many other good singers warned about the coming disasters and claims by the 'leaders' who are not what they look like:

I learned our government must be strong,

It's always right and never wrong,

Our leaders are the finest men

And we elect 'em again and again,

And that's what I learned in school today

That's what I learned in school.*

And how 'heroic and good' a war was they singsong nowadays too.*

How bitter is reality anno 2005, when the results of the dumbing down are staring all of us in the face. Whether black or white, yellow or whatever, we should never forget the underlying reasons and ultimate results.

People who prefer books to guns will never be 'cannon fodder' nor 'sheeple'.

It was a keystone of slavery that blacks must be kept illiterate,
which kept them dependent. And that goes for everybody...

And while 80 percent of American blacks had achieved literacy by 1940; the 'National Adult Literacy Survey' and the 'National Assessment of Educational Progress' tell us that by the year 2000, six decades of our vastly expensive modern government schools had reduced black literacy to a mere 60 percent.

The government schools - our largest and most expensive collectivist welfare
program - managed to double black illiteracy in only 60 years. [end quote]

The formula is used by many so called 'governments' and their minions:
If you keep'm stupid, I'll keep'm poor.

Propaganda-education, and a diet of hamburgers, Coca Cola
and the lies and rants of the 'McMedia' have done the rest.

Time for the 'sheeple' to get hold of the hayfork...?

At present 'Persona non Grata' in Holland :-)

He who travels far will often see things

Far removed from what he believed was the Truth.

When he talks about it in the fields at home,

He is often accused of lying,

For the obdurate people will not believe

Inexperience, I believe,

Will give little credence to my song.
