I mean yes, but Americans being low literary competency has been going on for decades.
When i was a teenager the average reading level was like 4th grade. It went up for awhile and now is going down again.
My parents stopped being able to help me with my homework once I hit middle school because it was too advanced for them. They also HATED that I loved to read. They used to mock me for it and tell me my eyes were going to fall out and nobody would like me if I didn’t stop reading and didn’t start watching sports all day.
