And in the US, we barely even teach *actual fucking literacy*, without which "AI literacy", "tech literacy", "media literacy", etc. are all fucking meaningless - if you do not teach people to parse language & text, the actual foundation of all the other shit, then they will not have the baseline skills needed to be literate elsewhere.

@miss_rodent According to the NEA, 54% of Americans are functionally illiterate. The GOP set to work in 1965 to destroy public education after the CRA of 1964 fully integrated the public schools. They succeeded. The percentage of ignoramuses is now too high to survive as a democracy, especially when Morons Are Governing America.
