As with any partisan hypocrite, johnforbes feels the level of illiteracy in West Virginia is just fine, as long as someone else is a little worse.
Why is johnforbes always making dishonest excuses for the unacceptable ignorance of people who vote as he does? And why does he carefully leave out Texas when talking about illiteracy? Because he knows they wouldn't vote the way he does if they were literate, of course.
"On average, West Virginia appears to have fewer people with very low literacy than the coastal states, but also fewer people with very high literacy. The latter figure is a larger figure so this will push West Virginia towards the back of the pack in ranking overall literacy skills, although it may indeed have fewer people who are completely illiterate in English.
The government agency that does the counting ranks West Virginia in the bottom 25% states for average combined English literacy and numeracy skills... alongside California and New York. Most of the states in the top 25% are bordering Canada, and nearly all of the worst 10 counties are Texas counties bordering Mexico."
Why is johnforbes always diverting and making excuses for the unacceptable ignorance of people who vote as he does? Because he knows they wouldn't vote the way he does if they were literate, of course.
