1 ene 1647 año - Old Deluder Satan Act (1647) The Massachusetts Act of 1647, also known as the "Old Deluder Satan Act" was passed to ensure literacy in all children, so that they may properly read and understand the Bible. In order to do this, it required that every town with 50 or more households hire a teacher for reading and writing. This represented one of the US' first steps towards public schooling as we know it, and the acknowledgement that public schooling could be used to better a society as a whole.
