    The US ranks 36th in literacy.

    This is a deceptive statistic. It merely indicates that many countries like Uzbekistan and North Korea falsely report 100% literacy rates. Look here. The USA literacy rate is actually about the same as that of other wealthy Western democracies.

      North Korea probably does have high literacy so the people can read and understand all the propaganda.
