54% of Americans read below a sixth grade level

7. I read that here last week along with the news that we have a 21% illiteracy rate.

A year after I learned to read I was reading at a sixth grade level and making visits to our library twice a day sometimes (we lived just a few blocks away). I liked the Beverly Cleary books like "Beezus and Ramona" (lots of Ramona books) and Henry Huggins.

I'm sure that Trump's goal is to keep America as ignorant as possible, making them easier to control. That's odd though since he is going to only be here for another 3+ years. It's almost like he expects to be in power longer than that. Impossible since we Democrats are going to easily retake the House and Senate at the midterms and in '28 we will easily recapture the White House and begin to set things straight. Right.
