I recently checked the rate of literacy of the county where we used to live. A full 20% of the people in that county can not read. The next 20% up can read but barely. This is a predominantly white population with little immigration on Maryland’s Eastern Shore.
If the broadcast media isn’t reaching these people with the truth, a full 40% of that county is utterly incapable of getting their news from the Internet.I would bet my 401K that there are many areas of our nation with worse levels of literacy.
We now live in a red state. The literacy rates are somewhat better. But...The Marxists who control the government schools have set out to make certain that large swaths of our citizens can not read fluently.
And the ones that can, are not reading about civics and American history, but diversity and saving the world from carbon dioxide.
At $11K a kid.
Thank G-d for homeschooling.
If you have evr listened to “man on the street” interviews done from time to time via various outlets, the intelligence level in this country among the generl population is frighteningly low. I have heard interviews with schoolteachers who dod not know who the first president of the United States was....OR what Independence Day stood for.
I have already decided to homeschool, but I am lucky to be very, very rural and off the beaten path. Most people are not so fortunate.
