My fellow Americans can't fucking read.

Don't attribute to malice what you can attribute to incompetence.

American adults are illiterate. And so are our kids. Especially the poor kids.

54% of US adults read below the equivalent of a sixth-grade level.

21% of U.S. adults are unable to complete basic reading tasks.

Most adults now read at a fifth grade level or below.

Fifth grade is for 10-year-olds.

Adults can't read at a level considered proficient for 10-year-olds.

Newspapers are typically written at 6th-8th grade reading level.

Americans aren't literate enough to read news articles.

At least half of American adults think they are reading the news but don't actually understand what they are seeing. If they're trying to read it at all, past the headlines and meme captions.

Children of adults with low literacy skills are 72% more likely to be at a low reading level in school, according to ProLiteracy.

40% of students across the nation cannot read at a basic level.

64% of our country's fourth graders do not read proficiently.

The low-income students are significantly more likely to be unable to read proficiently.

81% of fourth graders who qualify for free/reduced lunch can't read

49% of fourth graders who don't qualify still can't read either

It starts in childhood and persists into college, where professors increasingly complain that students can't handle simple reading assignments -- and especially long-form content, like novels.

This makes writing & texting one of the least effective methods of communication in 2026 because people literally do not understand the words that are coming outta our fingers.

And this is just basic understanding of the written word -- the language that we all speak everyday. We haven't even touched on math, science, or history yet.

When Americans read history and science books, they don't even understand the words that they are reading. You have to explain it to them verbally, preferably with visuals.

That's why Video is King now.

Zoology is a field that connects science, ecology, and conservation to address some of today’s most important environmental challenges. This article explores how a degree in zoology builds practical knowledge, research skills, and meaningful career opportunities in biodiversity, wildlife studies, and environmental science.

The students who choose it tend to come out the other side with skills and knowledge that genuinely matter in the real world.

writing papers in STEM: this mountain of evidence COULD SUGGEST that it MIGHT BE POSSIBLE for there to be some sort of POTENTIAL relationship between Factor A and Factor B. i have read 32 experimental studies with identical results, which MAY INDICATE that there might be SOME SUPPORT for this claim ?? (hypothetically)

writing papers in humanities: given the Implications of Text A, CLEARLY Text B is a DIRECT RESULT of fucked up cultural norms... which, OBVIOUSLY, originate from the same Systems that Text A CHOSE to ACTIVELY ENFORCE. i am arguing this very confidently because i have Formed an Opinion About It, and i also have found 4 QUOTES to back me up which ofc PROVES that my argument IS SOUND !!!

🤠 Red Star State? The New "Politburo" of Texas 🇨🇿

Is it just me, or is Texas starting to look a lot like the regimes they claim to hate? Let’s talk about the Texas A&M Board of Regents and their recent ban on Plato. 🏛️🚫

The Irony is Thick:

Texas politicians spend all day screaming about "freedom" and the "evils of Communism," but look at the playbook they’re actually using:

The Politburo Model: These "Regents" aren't elected by the people. They are hand-picked by the Governor. It’s a closed circle of loyalists making decisions for the masses. Sound familiar? ☭

The Great Purge (of Books): They banned Plato’s Symposium because it mentions "gender ideology." When a state starts purging 2,400-year-old philosophy because it doesn't fit the "Party line," you’re not in a democracy anymore; you’re in a re-education camp. 📚🔥

Centralized Control: The "Board" now has the power to audit every single syllabus. They’ve turned academic freedom into state-approved messaging.

Why Stalin Would Be Proud: 🧔‍♂️⭐

Honestly, Joe Stalin couldn't have done it better. Here’s why:

Preemptive Obedience: Stalin loved it when people censored themselves out of fear. Prof. Martin Peterson called it "vorauseilender Gehorsam." When the administration bans books before the government even asks, the "Thought Police" have already won. 👮‍♂️🧠

Ideology Over Reality: In the USSR, biology had to follow "Lysenkoism" (ideological science). In Texas, philosophy has to follow "Board-ism." If the facts (or the history of Greek love) don't fit the political narrative, you just delete the facts. ✂️

Loyalty Over Expertise: Just like the old Soviet councils, these Regents aren't scholars. They are businessmen and donors. In Texas, a billionaire’s political donation apparently gives them more "wisdom" than a PhD in Philosophy. 💰>📖

They call it "protecting the students," but it’s just State-Run Thought Control. If you’re banning Plato to "own the libs," you’ve accidentally built the very authoritarian machine you promised to fight.

Texas: Where the "Free Market of Ideas" went to die in a boardroom. 💀📉

Bad joke

A philosophy professor, a Soviet commissar, and a member of the Texas Board of Regents die and go to the afterlife. They are comparing how they ran their universities.

The Soviet commissar says: "In my day, we made sure every textbook followed the Party line. If a scientist disagreed with Stalin, we sent him to Siberia. It was simple, effective, and very quiet."

The Texas Regent nods approvingly: "I like your style, but you were too loud about it. In Texas, we call that 'State-Mandated Freedom.' We don't send you to Siberia; we just 'audit' your department until your office is a broom closet and you quit on your own. It's called market-based purging."

The philosophy professor looks at them and sighs: "But what about the Great Thinkers? What about Plato? He’s been dead for thousands of years!"

The Texas Regent leans back, tips his cowboy hat, and says: "Well, that’s where we improved the Soviet model, son. Stalin only cared about what people said today. In Texas, we’re so tough on 'ideology' that we’ve successfully cancelled a guy who’s been dust since 348 BC. Now that is border security for the mind!"

It speaks to a fatal flaw in our educational systems that so many college students (and professors!) are incapable of handling ideas, opinions, and values that differ from their own. Debate and discussion must be at the center of the higher educational experience, but apparently many campuses still find this shockingly stressful.

California colleges are seeing a rise of conservative voices. Some classes are tense

Turning Point USA chapters are growing on California campuses after Charlie Kirk’s assassination, as tensions rise both in and out of the cl
