Illiteracy Persists Because Truth Is Censored

Litigating Literacy

We cannot expect teachers to provide effective reading instruction if their own preparation programs never taught them how. And we cannot expect children with dyslexia to simply overcome the consequences of that training gap.

If we want better reading outcomes, teacher preparation has to be part of the conversation.

How does one prepare teachers when the problems of kids learning to read is not discussed openly?

Amanda Blomberg, do you have any idea why many intelligent kids can't read? Please educate us.

Litigating Literacy replied:

Lion Luqman Michel, asking this question on every post so you can answer with you created a program will also get you banned. Please stop posing the same question on every post to set up your “solution”.

Litigating Literacy, Why have you deleted all our discussion on messenger.

Do you have an answer/solution to my question? Is this not what the world needs to discuss?

Litigating Literacy banned me for asking the one question that actually matters: Why do so many intelligent children struggle to read? They claim I “ask the same question on every post.” That’s not true. What I ask is the question they refuse to answer — because without confronting it, all their talk about teacher preparation is just empty slogans.

 

Deleting our messenger discussion and banning me is not just censorship; it reveals the deeper problem. Are these campaigns about solving illiteracy, or about marketing services? If the mission is truly #untilallkidscanread, then why silence those who demand answers?

 

For decades, literacy rates have stagnated because the real causes of reading failure are swept under the rug. Children are confused by wrong teaching, not by “phonological deficits” or “English opacity.” Yet anyone who raises this truth is shut down.

 

If you want better outcomes, stop banning the question. Start answering it. Otherwise, these campaigns are little more than spin — and children will continue to pay the price. Parents and educators must demand open dialogue, not censorship. Until the hard questions are faced, illiteracy will remain entrenched.
