    Teach them to read, but not speak.

How would this work? As far as I can tell, reading is derived from speech. In fact, I'm not even sure how you'd go about teaching someone to read without speaking to them at some point. And if you did, you'd probably see imitation pretty quickly.

To be honest, I really don't know what I was thinking with that one.

Eh, that's cool. Given the unlimited resources, maybe you could develop a technology for implanting reading ability into people's minds?
