Subject-Verb Disagreements

There is no law without language. The imperfections of languages contaminate the legislatures they create. There are flaws in all languages and in the very principle of linguistic communication that keep modern governmental systems built on laws from being successful. An under-educated population is a prerequisite to tyranny. Lessening educational resources for populations is direct evidence of tyranny in the first degree. 

Language, literature, and their purpose and use in basic communication are required educational concepts for every citizen living freely in a democratic-republic built on and upheld by legal structures. Laws are words. Literacy is not optional. The laws that define human freedom are not poetry, they’re not open to reinterpretation when someone thinks people aren’t reading closely.

It’s not complicated. All legal systems have failed throughout all time because of subject-verb disagreement. 

Our whole lives verbs have been restricted based on context and consequences surrounding every action, but nouns, people, places and things, these things exist, and are not solely the decisions of humankind. Nouns are not ours, but a category of which we are within and a part and therefore completely incapable of fairly judging. 

When laws take aim at nouns, we create the civil rights issues that create the revolutions that have brought empires down, let alone standalone three hundred year nations.

We use language to create categories, you can choose to study literature or you can choose to study law or science. Different buildings, often different schools. But they’re the same thing, the only difference is what you’re aiming your literacy at. But every subject in every class in every school is the same verb aimed at a different noun.

For any society where human rights are described and defended by laws, total population literacy is a requirement for that society to function as designed. Every single person living in America needs to know how to read and write, not for their good, for ours.
