Cool, found it! It's good to be the king!

YOU ARE the king of Cites. What a great cite.

  I don't refute the King's cite, but I'd be interested to know precisely
what "evidence shows that majority literacy was achieved under the largely
market-based systems of the early 19th century," and what the "majority"
represented.  If it was a study of school children, for instance, then I
would hope for a literate majority.  If it was a survey of children both in
and out of formal school, I'd be much more impressed!

It seems to be saying that mandatory schooling didn't work. That seems to be
somewhat anti-dogmatic (if you accept NEA dogma anyway).

  If you're referring to the National Endowment for the Arts, I encourage
you to light whatever fires you choose, and I'll help stoke them.  (This
shouldn't be taken as my de facto application for Libertarian Party
Membership, though!)  8^)

     Dave!

(1999) ...and possibly the books (...) (23 years ago, 15-Jun-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
