      Used to work for a municipal government as part of a citywide literacy initiative. The number is hard to find, but the one quoted to me back then is Americans have a functional literacy rate of 87%. Our city was around a 65%.

      All illiterate people were completely failed by our education systems, more so the ones who ended up graduating high school or even college in some cases.
