[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why and what is this heroin epidemic? Is it only getting so much attention because it's afflicting middle class white people? How do so many people just start using heroin? Growing up in the 80's/90's, heroin was considered to be like crack and really hard core. I couldn't imagine middle class kids (of any race) doing it. [/quote]

Crack cocaine got as much attention in thr 80s and 90s as heroine is getting today. I grew up in DC and it was a huge issue with a lot of coverage. It was a low class thing and it got huge coverage. Nancy regan anyone?

You are very naive.  Yes prople go straight from rx opiats when that dries up to heroine and skip the pot and all that BS. Times have changed granny.[/quote]

Heroine?  Regan?  Opiats?

Public education has apparently [u]not[/u] changed, however.  [/quote]

Would you be surprised to learn that as recently as 2009, [b]D.C.'s rate of adult illiteracy was 36%[/b] ?  [b]It is still that high in some wards.[/b][/quote]

Post links. I cannot find that info.[/quote]

AU seems to have wiped their website of the data! ( http://www.american.edu/ocl/volunteer/Community-Service-Center-Maps-and-Stats.cfm ).

But they previously stated on that website:

Highest Illiteracy Rates By Ward

The below information breaks down the illiteracy rates by ward. For more information on wards go here

•Ward 7 50.4% 
•Ward 8 48.9% 
• Ward 5 48.2% 
•Ward 1 43.6% 
•Ward 4 42.2% 
•Ward 6 37.3% 
•Ward 2 20.8% 
• Ward 3 8.2%

Let me see if I can find the other deleted demographic data.[/quote]
