    This is simply untrue. There is no world in which someone with 6th grade reading comprehension is going to be able to read, absorb and parse a 3000 word article on a complex political or scientific or economic issue, no matter how simple the language used. It’s just not going to happen. Full stop.

    If you want to be a well-informed citizen, you have to be able to read at least at a 12th grade level.

    The last two decades have underscored this.
