I did not attack, challenge, or criticise the work of Litigating Literacy. I did not even post links to my own writing. All I did was point out a fact: many intelligent children leave school as illiterates. I asked a simple, honest question—does anyone know why so many intelligent kids shut down from learning to read?
Instead of engaging, they deleted all my posts and even erased my messenger discussions with them on Facebook. My comments on LinkedIn also disappeared, and the account of Diane Dragan, Special Education Attorney with over 610 followers, is now gone. When I click the link today, I get only: “This page doesn’t exist. Please check your URL or return to LinkedIn home.”
Is this why my comments were deleted?
Why were my comments not left for others to read and discuss? The only conclusion is that they do not want parents to discover alternatives to litigation—alternatives that might actually help children learn to read. Silencing questions and lived experiences does not serve children; it serves business interests.
If literacy advocacy is genuine, then open dialogue should be encouraged, not suppressed. Blocking voices like mine only raises the question: are these platforms protecting children, or protecting their own revenue streams?
