[Project.leer] NAACP targets a new civil rights issue—reading

I do not always agree with the NAACP- but they are right on target here- it should be viewed as a civil rights issue for all and the science of reading is endorsed by conservatives, liberals and progressives alike- we have decades of research across multiple domains to support it. It is only the higher ed types that won’t give up their ideological beliefs about it. The letter sent outlining the issues that Is linked is an interesting one. And form an equity perspective some can afford paying for outside help and their tutoring for their kids if they fall behind and others can’t and really depend on special education services, that I agree with as well.
