About this listen
In this episode we discuss a known yet glossed over the problem of illiteracy in this country. We went into a backward view of where we were concerning literacy as far back as the early 1800's to where the numbers line up today. We discussed all of the implications this bears on both someone unable to read/write as well as into the many societal ills it may very likely be affecting. We of course could not help getting pretty startled by the stats and how there seems to be nothing but a continual downward spiral; if not more excelerated by our current age of technology. It is a problem and our hearts truly feel for those trapped in such an outlier realm. We touched on what we, as individuals or as groups might consider for aiding in this hubris problem outside the system machine which has passed so many through. Tune in, share and chime in.
