More (not so) fun facts:
54% of American adults read below a 6th grade level.
21% read below a 5th grade level, which is considered functionally illiterate.
High immigration numbers don't fully explain it either, as first gen immigrants only make up about 1/3 of those with low literacy.
because elites don't live outside the bubble and they don't know how the rest of us live. they are born into it and never step outside of it outside of it, except for well-manicured volunteering like when they do teach for America for a year or two.
and when we tell them, they tell us we are stupid and wrong and misguided and that they know better than us.
and they wonder why we resent them... they are 'just trying to help' us 'little people'.
