Don't mind if I do

Yeah, this is more on the 'paranoid' end of the spectrum without being very effective. If you're being surveiled or targeted, there's plenty to dig up already.

No need to shrink away from expressing yourself. and this breeds a mistrust against your neighbors or community.

This is an interesting idea, but the world is moving toward having everything digital. I imagine it being nearly impossible to live a life nearly entirely analog, and the youths only engage in what is strictly necessary, but can't abandon fully

It could be a trap, where we make a big deal about it and they claim they're "joking" each time and then it gets normalized. But the alternative is preemptively normalizing it by buying into the plausible deniability. There's no 'winning' move, I'd rather call him a fucking Nazi

It's not that phonics is integral, but rather if reading is a guessing game that's just one more barrier to reading, and they read less, and what they do read they skim over and potentially ignore foreign words

How is it more efficient than reading a static page? The kids can't read. They weren't taught phonics, they were taught to guess the word with context clues. It's called "whole language" or "balanced reading"
