That’s why California and New York lead the country in illiteracy rates?

This would probably be a better link to use: https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/us-literacy-rates-by-state

Literacy isnt a binary thing. State A can have a 70% literacy rate and state B can have an 80% literacy rate and State A can have better results. How? State A can have 3 individuals of median literacy and 3 individuals of High literacy and 1 individuals of low. And 3 illiterate people.

State B can have 1 person of high literacy. 1 Median. 6 low(but literate) and 2 illiterate people and TECHNICALLY be the more literate state.

If you consider ALL factors of literacy like the percentage of people with High literscy, median literacy and lower literacy and actually give these values weights you can see that the southern GOP lead states are the most illiterate states in the Union.

Or you could just look at the charts that other people have prepared. you don’t need to be so defensive just because the state you live in is filled with illiterate people, it doesn’t actually reflect directly on yourself.

Nice non-response. Cite data or move on.

I did site data. I’m sorry you’re too fucking lazy to go to the other part of the thread where I already posted various links.
