Almost half the public school graduates in California can’t read - the world is complicated.

Sweeping generalizations are usually wrong in interesting ways.

I think the stat was that more than half of public school graduates in California couldn't read at a grade 11 level. The parent comment to yours seems to be saying these kids literally can't read, and don't even know the alphabet.
