Question above is pretty blunt but was doing a study for a college course and came across that stat. How is that possible? My high school sucked but I was well equipped even with that sub standard level of education for college. Obviously income is a thing but to think 1 out of 5 American adults is categorized as illiterate is…astounding. Now poor media literacy I get, but not this. Edit: this was from a department of education report from 2022. Just incase people are curious where that comes from. It does also specify as literate in English so maybe not as grim as I thought.
The same applies in the ROC (Rest of canada) when dealing with their French minority. Latest example is in New-Brunswick where the premier faces an onslaught by eliminating the French as a second language programme.
Alberta done that in the 1920’s without recriminations by closing down French only schools.
Ontario is not better underfunding French services.
I don’t disagree.
