First part: Americans can’t read well enough to comprehend excellent books that teach awareness of modern pitfalls that are affecting our society. Second part: “Um yeah, I totally agree and I am very smart. Everyone says so.” Lol, what?

That's nothing. The Declaration of Independence is written in script, which puts it beyond the accessibility of half the country.

I believe the average American is about a 6th-grade level...

Both sides of the aisle is misleading. LeVar Burton, Obama, they've all tried to improve reading levels.

Just a lie. Republicans ban books and can barely read.

Funny story about the guy who wrote Fahrenheit 451, a book that is, in part, about a hyper-surveiled world. He was a big fan of George W. Bush, the president who foisted the Patriot Act on us, which allows the government to search your library history to see if you’ve read Fahrenheit 451.

Most people who can read don't really read books either.
