Do you think Kindergarteners should be "required" to learn to read?

From this article.
It would have been devastating for my son if he had been “required” to read. How can you require someone to do something they may not be able to do because they’re so young?
My son doesn’t particularly care for reading, and actually didn’t learn to read very well until 2nd grade. The biggest culprit was that they were using that stupid “sight” reading instead of phonics. So I taught him phonics at home and he finally mastered it.
It makes me sad to think that his first experience in school might have been a very sad and stressful one.
Care to discuss?
