American military officials say the Pentagon might need to dip into stockpiles in Asia to replenish supplies in the Middle East, congressional aides say.
It is worse than just high schoolers. I have heard many people in the US speak and act in such a way to make you feel ashamed for them. Most Americans do not read at all. You can go in many homes and see less than 10 books, talk to children who have never gone to the library. The issue is that the problem is cyclical, if an individual has not improved themselves through literacy it will be even more difficult for their children to.
Yeah very true. Im studying higher level math from textbooks my grandfather bought in the 1950s lol. Algebra, Trig, Calculus, Differential Equations, etc. If i didnt have those books sitting gathering dust since he died 15 years ago id have had to buy them all myself and that wouldnt be cheap.
From what ive seen and heard a lot of highschoolers these days can barely even read.

Yeah, it’s extremely unfortunate, anger-inducing and heartbreaking. It will take generations to even somewhat heal from this.
The U.S. is doomed.
