>Your position, then, must be<
Oh no not another one of these "he said, she said" dealies!
First off I started my post with a "maybe" so I'm not presenting a thesis so much as running an idea up the flagpole. As for the position you deduce from that careful phrasing, I see a coupla gaps. I don't see where you are making the transition from civilized *societies* to civilized *individuals*. Imho that is a polarizing sort of statement and it isn't helping the tenor of the debate much.
Bottom line is that my position *isn't* comparable to that in your reformulation. It's less radical.

Let's get the original topic back on track - i.e. Can we begin to expect a civilized, modern society to provide universal education?
