Missouri is contemplating passing legislation to make passing the citizenship test administered to immigrants mandatory for high school students to graduate. The students will be required to make a 60%.
I had no trouble making a 60% at fourteen, and 97% at eighteen, so I see nothing wrong with this. In fact, I think it's an excellent idea to making this a requirement to vote. As in: you have to pass this test every election cycle for five cycles in a row before you become permanently enfranchised.

Oh, HELL yes!
ReplyDeleteGlad I'm not the only one that thinks this.
DeleteAnd it should definitely be a requirement to even be eligible to run for public office.
ReplyDeleteI'd agree to an amendment stating that.
DeleteI'd amend it to "the person has to earn an 85% or better to run for office."
ReplyDeleteI don't think any of our current politicritters could do that, outside of perhaps Rand Paul.
