“ We live in a nation of 40 million functional illiterates: that’s 40 million adults who cannot read and write above a fourth grade or fifth grade level. We have another probably 40 million adults who can read and write above a fourth grade level but don’t have the comprehension beyond that very much. So if you have literally that many tens of millions of adults who either can’t read and write above a fourth and fifth grade level or can’t comprehend what they do read, you’ve created a nation of people who are not going to be reading the newspapers. „
