The city of Detroit operates, with a shit ton of federal oversight, a free public primary and secondary school system that is available to every child in the city regardless of gender, race, sexual orientation and even citizenship. The state is providing, as required by law the opportunity for every child to become literate. Is the government somehow supposed to guarantee that every child learns to read? If so, how the fuck are we supposed to do that?

I doubt funding for the Detroit city school system is the biggest problem here. According to this article in the Detroit News, the Detroit public school system is budgeted for $732,000,000 for the 2018-19 school year for an estimated 50,875 students. That's $14,388 per student for the year. That's not a bad budget considering Detroit is broke. It’s a lot better than a lot of other school systems that do more with less.
Did you hear about the guy who was illiterate and was a teacher for 17 years? https://www.bbc.com/news/stories-43700153
