I’m more concerned with all the illegals.
Surprisingly, the poll found stark gaps in knowledge depending on age. Those 65 years and older scored the best, with 74 percent answering at least six in 10 questions correctly. For those under the age of 45, only 19 percent passed with the exam, with 81 percent scoring a 59 percent or lower.
Surprisingly? That's not a surprise at all.
I took the test at the site and got 19 out of twenty....its not that hard if you ever paid any attention to what goes/went on in our republics history .
I am willing to wager real money that the average FReeper would do better (far better) on the US Citizenship test than the average DU Dummy!
Thank you Public Schools and the NEA! You are truly NOT WORTH the money we pay you!
I remember helping my husband study for his citizenship test. He knew the answers and was pretty confident going in.
When he came out, he was laughing and said that the examiner had asked a few questions and then noted that I was from an area that had a pretty well known lake and started asking him questions about it.
Thank goodness we had visited the lake a few times and he was pretty familiar with it because the majority of the time was the conversation about the lake and fishing.
He aced the test
So what?
A citizen born of this country is a citizen.
A usurper is not.
The effort to make an educational equivalency is smoke and mirrors.
I agree.
Took it for the heck of it and got 20 out of 20. Don't know my score when I was 11 years old, but I must have passed it since I was naturalized. Was long long ago lol.
For those making stupid comments about not passing the driving test when older...etc. You really have no idea how our youth have been mis-instructed. My kids (homeschooled) were completely amazed by the stupidity of their peers when they were in college. (My oldest is working on a Phd in pharmacy.) I work with young people all the time. It is astounding what they do not know.
Btw, I could pass the citizenship test. Not only pass it, but understand the answers I gave.
And that is the REAL test. Understanding freedom. Not just some memorization to get welfare...
Here is the bottom line. If you don’t understand the constitution, if you don’t understand American values AND agree with them, then you should not only NOT be allowed to vote, but should GTFO of this country.
Thanks, I appreciate that.
They probably don’t teach as much of that info in schools these days - dangerous info for a child to have if one wants to brainwash him into an America hater...
