Literacy Today or Lack

Today literacy in American Society is the lowest in Generations.
Read the book on "Science Matters - Achieving Scientific Literacy (revised, updated) - R. Hazen, J. Trefil (Anchor, 2009).
In Defense of Science - Why Scientific Literacy Matters - F. Spellman, et. al., (GI, 2011)
Speed Reading like Evelyn Wood should be required for all Junior High and High School Students along with a mandate on basic classes in the sciences to graduate.
Most high school student cannot read or write to APA standards, and are financially illiterate due to the erosion of American School System and lack of modernization to the 21st Century.
