14 Percent of U.S. Adults Can't Read

I don't usually post news articles (well, I have never actually posted any), but I saw this one on the Yahoo! homepage and thought I would share:

14 Percent of U.S. Adults Can't Read

I'm not really sure what to do about it, but the article makes me so sad. Even for people who don't read as a hobby, reading is such a necessary skill to function in our society.

Yes, very sad. Worse is the number of people who can read and don't (and are proud of it!)
