Writing And Literacy Education’s Assault

Is the decline in writing and literacy among adults just a coincidence — or part of a larger plan? This video explores the argument that modern education was deliberately redesigned to weaken reading comprehension, critical thinking, and authentic self-expression. Drawing from a YouTube transcript and an article by Hilary Layne, the discussion uncovers how the shift from phonics to “whole language” and critical literacy methods has created generations dependent on AI writing tools. The sources trace these educational reforms back over a century, linking them to powerful industrialists and government interests intent on producing obedient workers rather than independent thinkers. Featuring evidence from historical documents, academic studies, and writings by the reformers themselves, this video challenges what we think we know about education — and asks whether the system was ever meant to truly make us literate.
