Cuba's literacy rate is 96.9.  The US is 99.9.  Statistically
insignificant, but nice try.

It seems to have fallen about 19.9% overnight then:

Functional illiteracy rate is 36% in Washington DC, 21% nationwide.

And it's *functional* literacy that matters - if they can't read and/or
write well enough to figure out a subway schedule or fill out the job
application at a fast food place, does it really matter if some test claimed
they were "literate"?
