I've just seen the stat that average US #reading level is 7th-8th grade (ie age 12-14). I started looking for coverage, and came across this in one summary: 'Americans are reading at a fewer rate every year.' I begin to see the scale of the problem.

@paulcowdell@hcommons.social Lack of literacy. Lack of reading comprehension. Lack of critical thinking. We've devolved into an Idiocracy. #USpol
