Wow. I'm surprised the our literacy rate isn't lower.

About
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis aspires to be the same kind of Autocrat despised by the founders of the United States. He must be exposed for what he is: a great threat to our Democratic Republic and American values. Republicans don't punish big businesses like the Walt Disney Company for disagreeing with them. Fascists do. DeSantis and those like him are a massive threat to our Democracy.

Now cross it up with an immigration map.
We slamming Florida here? Then why is the liberal bastion of California even worse off? LOL, bet NYC counts for the vast majority of illiterates in New York.
C'mon y'all. This is interesting data, but it says nothing about state politics. A conservative could use this as an anti-immigration ad. (Please don't give 'em ideas.)
It does seem like there's a correlation with high density cities...maybe larger elementary class sizes lead to lower literacy? Or maybe more folks "slip through the cracks" in large cities (dropping out, etc). I hope some smart people are parsing this data, and we'll eventually be able to get some good policy outcomes from it...green up those areas a bit.
Florida sucks for many reasons, not just their terrible record at literacy.
