as you said "most educated people."
we have about 32 million people in the United States that can't even read. are you forgetting about them? we need to reach out for these people and educate them and give them more alternatives as a nation.
1 in 7 can't read it. They're illiterate.
Statistics released by the U.S. Education Department this week show that some 32 million U.S. adults lack basic prose literacy skill. That means they can't read a newspaper or the instruction on a bottle of pills.
The figures are for 2003, the latest year available. State and county results are available here.
