Certainly not a surprise. But still, it's refreshing to see muricans becoming self aware!

Whats your point? That children in developed countries should remain uneducated because children in africa are, too?

No, people in developed countries don't care about undeveloped countries.

It is not surprising but there is little interest in politicians wanting to solve it. A stupid populous is unlikely to be able to critically think about issues and thus hold them accountable. Just understand a 3 word slogan that doesn't actually mean anything. Build the wall. Lock her up. Drain the swamp..... I'm impressed 'Make America Great Again' had 4. That was a risky step up!

I bet looking into the data you would find the vast majority of the 54% of illiterates would vote for the repugs. And that's exactly how the repugnican party likes/needs it
