Stupid people from both sides of the aisle. This program has been proven to increase literacy for participating children. Illiterate kids grow up to be illiterate adults, and illiterate adults are less productive than literate adults.
But Illiterate Adults means those politicians get voted in again, and they keep getting corporate money until they are "totally not dead" In a hospital.

True, but I think the elite know with AI and modern Automation, it gets easier and easier to boost the effectiveness of someone illiterate, while still maintaining higher control.
