Hey, I’m all for reading programs there. That’s a long-term victory for decency and freedom.

Once you open up someone’s mind that way, it’s tough to close it again.

Depends rather heavily on what they’re reading, don’t you think? I’d be willing to bet, for instance, that the Hitler Youth had at the very least 90% literacy. And given what we’ve seen in the past about “education” in the Pali territories, it’s a legitimate question to ask what exactly these kids are being taught in this program.
