Our kids are illiterate, what are we doing?

We need to discuss the alarming rates of functional illiteracy among young adults in the U.S., and how our young people are still "graduating" without being able to read. Chris, Ish, and Sharif cover the systemic failures of the education system, the role of community in addressing literacy, and the need for a cultural revolution that prioritizes reading and education. The episode also raises questions about our civil rights organizations and leaders for their lack of focus on literacy and emphasizes the importance of grassroots movements and the arts in fostering a literate society.
