Why does America have such high illiteracy rates?

>> No.1160547

1) It's a rather big country
2) Just spent a trillion dollars to blow up a couple of countries
3) I don't exactly know.

Also, check it state by state, or even county by county, and you'll see a ridiculous difference between them.

Bad education system, schools funded mostly by property tax, no way to help make it more equal because BAWWW SOCIALISM so poorfags are even more mired in their poverty, lots of negros for whom learning is a white thing

unlike other western countries we let immigrants in and many do not speak the language and this lowers our literacy rates
this also lowers test scores in a lot of states
