No, this is complaining that the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia has gotten worse over the decades.

You're asking a lot to expect people on HN to know that Philadelphia exists.

But that makes sense. Half of Philadelphia is practically illiterate https://www.achieve-now.com/poverty-cycle

One must imagine their educators are crap
