Otherwise, I agree with you...
The literacy stats in the post you'd quoted probably came from Wikipedia, sourcing CNN, which was the only place I'd found with those particular stats. I'd posted stats from CIA World Factbook , that differ from those in that post... for some reason my post, with stats from a truer source, was removed
Yeah, I saw that although to be accurate it was WH Correspondent Peter Alexander who had the honor of verbalizing it, not Holt. I suspect the news division brass didn't want the guy in the big chair to be put in the position of dropping the word on-air.
None the less, props to NBC for not sugar coating it. Sadly CBS did. I suppose it was more important not to tarnish the "Tiffany Network" persona than use a verbatim quote from the President of the United States. I didn't see how ABC handled it. Anyone?

I appreciate the numbers. I wonder what the stats are for 2017. And what our federal govt. stats are. The organization you cited isn't known for its love of immigrants. In fact it is anti - immigrant. Not saying the numbers are wrong but well it's like Don Lemon reporting on Wolfe's book. Not a fair representation for sure.

maybe because it was not my original statement, it was someone else that you are thinking of

He (correct?) didn't post it. I did. It was from the U.S. Department of Education, not CNN. What year is your data from in the Factbook?
Foreign stats are from UNESCO.
