Public Health Explained - Do we have a literacy crisis or not?

Have you come across any video title, headlines that said something to the effect of "Americans can't read" or "kids can't read" or "America's literacy crisis?" Yeah, me too. It's a moral panic disguised as a genuine concern. To be clear, United States certainly has issues with reading comprehension, but calling this a literacy crisis is inaccurate. To solve a problem, we have to accurate describe it first.  Reference: WoodyLing's debunking video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wHdZjimF3Os Crimes New Roman's debunking video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78XR4i0OH6c  https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2025/07/28/naep-reading-crisis-test-scores/ www.everythingispublichealth.com Bluesky Social: @everythingisPH Mastodon: @everythingispublichealth Email: EverythingIsPublicHealth@gmail.com      Photo credit: Photo by Kimberly Farmer [https://unsplash.com/@kimberlyfarmer?utm_source=unsplash&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=creditCopyText] on Unsplash [https://unsplash.com/photos/shallow-focus-photography-of-books-lUaaKCUANVI?utm_source=unsplash&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=creditCopyText]
