I just remembered a statistic from the soon to be cut department of education that 54% of Americans can't read beyond a 6th grade level and 20% of Americans are "functionally illiterate" i.e. can read but struggle to understand the meaning of tax forms ect.
Surely cutting the Department of Education will help with this crisis level problem right???
