I saw this behavior in my rural highschool. This contempt of people who could actually read/write at a basic highschool level. This was 2014 when I graduated. Most kids would proudly tell me "I haven't read a book in 3 years.".

It will only get worse.

I hate to be "that guy" recommending books but... If you haven't already you need to read Atlas Shrugged. Ayn Rand speaks about this exact issue.
