Thanks to Roshambu for this site. I encourage everyone to look at it. It's as nonbiased that one can get within the pathetic media arena that our beloved nation spews. 

Only 35% of adult Americans are proficient at reading. I thought it was just over 50%. No wonder why Ivy schools like Brown have to lower their standards. They need enrollment, but at this rate, they don't have much to choose from. I guess that also explains why they would come up with degrees like 19th century Russian studies. 

About 31% of 4th graders, 30% of 8th graders, and 35% of 12th graders were considered proficient or advanced in reading in 2024, according to the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP). The NAEP, also known as the Nation’s Report Card, assesses 4th and 8th graders’ progress in reading and math approximately every two years. It assesses 12th graders every four years.

 This text is written at a Post-Graduate / Professional reading level. It is highly sophisticated, though it uses that sophistication to deliver a polemic (a strong verbal attack).


To understand this passage, a reader needs more than just a high vocabulary; they need a deep grasp of American constitutional law, Latin legal shorthand, and contemporary political slang.

Let me guess. You are the only one on here who has the "deep grasp" that is needed, right?

Copies/pastes again. More evidence he has no thoughts of his own.

Your copy/paste **** has no relevance to what you quoted. Are you just copying random **** again?

Are you saying you don't make "prepositional errors"?

I find an example and you slit your throat. 

Deal?

I said there were none in the post you quoted. 

If there are, then post them.

1. You will continue to refuse to back up your claim
2. Continue to turn it on me.

As always. So **** predictable. So predictable.

That's not what it said. Any copy/paste you make from AI you will edit. I already busted you once for doing that. 

1. You will now pretend that you have no recollection of me busting you. Then demand I repost it. 

**** idiot. Do you see how predictable you are yet?
