What Alabama is about to discover but what they probably already know is that a large amount of their population is borderline retarded or below and could easily qualify for special education.


ETA: And this is not at a specific shot at Alabama, the same goes for much of the Deep South.

That's depressing as frick that you can't read by 1st grade let alone going to 4th grade.

There is zero excuse for a 4th grader to not be able to read at a Harry Potter level

Damn. I don’t think Reuben Foster could pass that now much less in the third grade.

My 4 year old who has not been given any formal reading training yet, can read cat in the hat books by himself, because we sit with him damn near every day and help him.

Amazing isn't it?

That's actually bad for Republicans, since 99% of the illiterate send votes their way. Interesting move.
