**The Average College Student Is Illiterate**
Hilarius Bookbinder
“_I’m not saying our students just prefer genre books or graphic novels or whatever. No, our average graduate literally could not read a serious adult novel cover-to-cover and understand what they read. They just couldn’t do it. They don’t have the desire to try, the vocabulary to grasp what they read, and most certainly not the attention span to finish._”

If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be. The functionaries of every government have propensities to command at will the liberty and property of their constituents. There is no safe deposit for these but with the people themselves; nor can they be safe with them without information. Where the press is free, and every man able to read, all is safe.
Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826) American political philosopher, polymath, statesman, US President (1801-09)

A history and civics teacher writes in to Lewis, who then shares it with us. This is worth listening.
Children used to grow up in a sheltered environment of #family and neighborhood – there was enough time to educate them and teach them values. The goal of #education used to be to impart the #values of the #culture. #Religion used to have an important influence on society and taught values that were altruistic at their core. We have sacrificed all of that to #mammon.
When the fundamental values of a culture lose their basis and are no longer shared by the majority of people, it breaks down.
