It’s reactionary and unproductive to blame literacy decline on the very same communities being underfunded and underserved. It’s not the people celebrating an incarcerated loved ones release causing a crisis in literacy. It’s still the systems not providing resources to those that need them most.

Dr Francisco Alamano (spelling might be bad due to my dubious hearing) has, using FMRI studies, established that fanatical behaviour results from a failure to create close attachments during early life.
