It's only going to get worse. 20% of the US is illiterate. 50% can't read above a 6th grade level.
Read that again.
1 in 2 people can not read above a 6th grade level.
That is a fucking insane statistic.
Cannot read English? Well that makes sense. The US is filled with immigrants and non English speaking citizens
I'll take the average immigrant's reading level over the average conservative's reading level.
