In my home state of California, for instance, only 30% of public school fourth graders can read proficiently. Fully 41% cannot even read at a basic level — which is to say, they cannot really understand and interpret written text at all. Eighth graders, as you might expect, look almost as bad.
It is both unbelievable and heartbreaking. And it creates a permanent underclass of people who are simply not cognitively equipped to critically evaluate what they are being told. Which is the Democrats’ entire purpose for doing this! They don’t care about kids–they care only about POWER.
