Did you know that 54% of American adults between the ages of 16-74 read below a 6th grade level?

Have we not learned anything these past few years? Trump, Anti-vaxx, QAnon, joined with our “epidemic of illiteracy” further cements the notion that America is not the greatest country.

My favorite part of this post so far is seeing others interacting with idiots I've already blocked, and having my stance confirmed simply by their side of the discussion.

I would add the term "information" ahead of "literacy" in your question above, because in addition to the reading level, it is also the struggle to separate out factual information from that which satisfies our confirmation biases.

Great question!
