minus-square@ArbitraryValue@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglish7•edit-21 month ago The US ranks 36th in literacy. This is a deceptive statistic. It merely indicates that many countries like Uzbekistan and North Korea falsely report 100% literacy rates. Look here. The USA literacy rate is actually about the same as that of other wealthy Western democracies.
