You can read the document at the source. It's pretty much what you'd expect.

This is what happens when you emphasize SJW Marxist nonsense over actual education.

Recently I had a repairman come to the home to fix an appliance. In communicating he (or I) spoke into his smart phone and then I (or he) read what the other one had said in the appropriate language.

Later at work, a coworker said that police use this frequently in communicating with people who don’t speak English very well (or at all).

Literacy is about will, and compulsory education won't make anti-literate people change their minds.

Embracing written language is a dividing line between primitive people and civilized people.

Good information at the link - thanks for the post. I need to chase down some of the referenced support data, particularly that OECD report. Just interpreting from my experience & education on adult education, I think those literacy levels have some parallels to a classic education psychology approach called Bloom’s Taxonomy.

No mention of parents or taxpayers in the headline.

Anyone that works a job with the public knows the literacy rate is approximately 10%. The rest don’t bother to/can’t read.ximately
