More (not so) fun facts:

54% of American adults read below a 6th grade level.

21% read below a 5th grade level, which is considered functionally illiterate.

High immigration numbers don't fully explain it either, as first gen immigrants only make up about 1/3 of those with low literacy.

This is a really complicated statement to refer to test questions that probably say shit like "The ball is blue on Tuesdays. It's Saturday today. What color is the ball?"

Exactly. Show me an example question for this test and then we'll talk

More realistically, it would be stuff like

The sign over a parking spot says no parking Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Select the times and dates that you are allowed to park there.

9:30 AM, Tuesday

8:00 PM, Sunday

5:15 PM, Thursday

12:00 PM, Monday

rainbow color, because ball is gay on Saturday and it's only blue on Tuesdays because of cisheteronromativity that is enforced at it's workplace.
