Should politicians have to take a test before taking office? Should people elected to the House or Senate have to take a test on the U.S. Constitution and History before taking office? There apparently aren't many who know, or have even read the constitution, and I'm betting most don't know history too well either. Is it not fair to expect that of our representatives? That they actually "Know" what they're supposed to be doing?

Could you do better than an Oklahoma H.S. student on the U.S. citizenship test? 75 Percent of Oklahoma High School Students Can't Name the First President of the U.S. Posted: Sep 16, 2009 10:17 AM PDT Updated: Sep 17, 2009 8:30 AM PDT Oklahoma Students Score Low on Basic Civic Questions A majority of Oklahoma high school students could not name Washington as the nation's first president in a recent survey.News9.com OKLAHOMA CITY -- Only one in four Oklahoma public high school students can name the first President of the United States, according to a survey released today. The survey was commissioned by the Oklahoma Council of Public Affairs in observance of Constitution Day on Thursday. Brandon Dutcher is with the conservative think tank and said the group wanted to find out how much civic knowledge Oklahoma high school students know. The Oklahoma City-based think tank enlisted national research firm, Strategic Vision, to access students' basic civic knowledge. "They're questions taken from the actual exam that you have to take to become a U.S. citizen," Dutcher said. A thousand students were given 10 questions drawn from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services item bank. Candidates for U.S. citizenship must answer six questions correctly in order to become citizens. About 92 percent of the people who take the citizenship test pass on their first try, according to immigration service data. However, Oklahoma students did not fare as well. Only about 3 percent of the students surveyed would have passed the citizenship test. Dutcher said this is not just a problem in Oklahoma. He said Arizona had similar results, which left him concerned for the entire country. "Jefferson later said that a nation can't expect to be ignorant and free," Dutcher said. "It points to a real serious problem. We're not going to remain ignorant and free." Question % of Students Who Answered Correctly What is the supreme law of the land? 28 What do we call the first ten amendments to the Constitution? 26 What are the two parts of the U.S. Congress? 27 How many justices are there on the Supreme Court? 10 Who wrote the Declaration of Independence? 14 What ocean is on the east coast of the United States? 61 What are the two major political parities in the United States? 43 We elect a U.S. senator for how many years? 11 Who was the first President of the United States? 23 Who is in charge of the executive branch? 29 EDIT: T Acorn=Ob, from another answer. I happened to stumbel upon the stats for OK., since the advent of the Bush policy of No Child Left Behind I am sure this is nationwide. "Oklahoma is the only state that every district voted for McCain by the way. It was completely red. Think about it."
Christians, if the U.S. is a Christian nation, then why doesn't the Constitution say so? The U.S. Constitution is a secular document. It begins, "We the people," and contains no mention of "God" or "Christianity." Its only references to religion are exclusionary, such as, "no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust" (Art. VI), and "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof" (First Amendment). The presidential oath of office, the only oath detailed in the Constitution, does not contain the phrase "so help me God" or any requirement to swear on a bible (Art. II, Sec. 1, Clause 8). If the U.S. is a Christian nation, why doesn't the Constitution say so? IRev~ "But how has it happened that millions of fables, tales, legends, have been blended with both Jewish and Christian revelation that have made them the most bloody religion that ever existed." --John Adams in a letter to F.A. Van der Kamp, Dec. 27, 1816, "Lighthouses are more helpful than churches."--Benjamin Franklin "The way to see by faith is to shut the eye of reason."--Benjamin Franklin "Christianity is the most perverted system that ever shone on a man."--Thomas Jefferson "Christianity is not my religion."--A. Lincoln "Who does not see that the same authority which can establish Christianity, in exclusion of all other religions, may establish with the same ease any particular sect of Christians, in exclusion of all other sects?" -James Madison Please, get an education.
Are high school exit exams a violation of the U.S. Constitution? California passed a law requiring that before any senior graduates high school that they must have passed an exit exam that tests their knowledge of 8th grade math and 10th grade english. The graduating class of 2006 was the first class to be required to meet this standard. We saw an effort by a group of students represented by activist attorneys to sue in courts to block the requirement because it violated the students constitutional rights; namely the equal protections clause. I feel, as does all courts thus far, the test is valid and should remain as law. What I don't understand is if these students are not passing 8th grade math and they're in high school, why aren't they being flunked? And should we really give special treatment to people from other countries that don't understand English, giving them a "pass" on the English portion? I can blame the teachers for most of the failures on the test, but do we really want failures to graduate? In expanding what was meant by Equal Protection, some feel that schools in poor neighborhoods aren't funded as well as those in middle to upper-class neighborhoods. Also, it was argued that not all teachers teach the same way, and still yet other teachers don't know the material as well as the next. Because of this, those who are against the exit exam feel that the education received isn't equal among every student in the state. In response to the test not being fair, which is another argument against the test. Life is not fair. This is America and our language is English. To succeed in our country you must at least speak and understand our language, and have a basic grasp of 8th grade math. Cash registers do calculate change, but what happens when they go down and all transactions have to be done by hand? How many students can tell you if something is $100 and goes on sale for $80 what was the percentage in savings? We need people to clean toilets and flip burgers. There is such a thing as losers and winners. We provide a free education, and in California we spend more money per capita than any other state in the Union yet we still rank at the bottom.

Does Bush care about the U.S. Constitution? WASHINGTON - President Bush approved an order Wednesday that rewrites the rules governing spying by U.S. intelligence agencies, both in the United States and abroad, and strengthens the authority of the national intelligence director, according to a U.S. official and government documents. ADVERTISEMENT Executive Order 12333, which lays out the responsibilities of each of the 16 agencies, maintains the decades-old prohibitions on assassination and using unwitting human subjects for scientific experiments, according to a power point briefing given to Congress that was reviewed by The Associated Press. The CIA notoriously tested LSD on human subjects in the 1950s, which was revealed by a Senate investigation in 1977. The new order gives the national intelligence director, a position created in 2005, new authority over any intelligence information collected that pertains to more than one agency — an attempt to force greater information exchange among agencies traditionally reluctant to share their most prized intelligence. The order directs the attorney general to develop guidelines to allow agencies access to information held by other agencies. That could potentially include the sharing of sensitive information about Americans. Some of you should be ashamed to excuse this behavior and by excusing this behavior you are giving the terrorists a victory since that is what they seek to do. Shame on you! For the record I am a Libertarian not a Liberal

Why is there so much ignorance about the Constitution? People who say the Constitution was written to be vague are just making excuses for not agreeing with it. The founders were afraid of corruption and tyranny so they were da*mb sure to be specific. Libs don't agree and will give Freedom of Speech as an example. 'You can't yell fire in a crowded theater'. That's true but not because of the U.S. Constitution. The founders meant it when they said "Congress shall make no law abridging freedom of speech" because they expected the state or local governments would prosecute such speech. Even after they establish religious freedom and the no religious test for elected official many states still had official state religions. They didn't see it as a contradiction because they meant it when they said "Congress...." It was even a controversy when Adams wanted Federal law to prosecute people who threatened the President. Even that was left to the states. Tell me what you think And dont give me that "the fourteenth amendment change states rights until you read it. Huh you dont even understand the quote you just made. It referes to keeping to treaties. Noone is saying the Federal government has no power, just those authorized by the Constitution. Then you said, "Congress does have powers not enumerated in the Constitution which means yes they do have the authority to pass laws on issues such as health care reform. " ignorance! where is healthcare enumerated in the Constitution? Gen. Stiggo, perhaps you dont understand the meaning of "Congress" There is no other body with the title 'Congress of the United States' as in 'Congress shall make no law" or perhaps you're too week to admit you dont agree with it because you dont trust your leftwing state.

Would most "natural born" Americans pass the test to become Citizens? Requirements: an ability to read, write, and speak English; a knowledge and understanding of U.S. history and government; good moral character; attachment to the principles of the U.S. Constitution; and, favorable disposition toward the United States. Seems ironic that most Americans wouldn't even qualify to become Citizens of their own country if they applied. http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=ce2b2cd1f7e9e010VgnVCM1000000ecd190aRCRD&vgnextchannel=96719c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1RCRD
The flag: Proud symbol of freedom, or twisted new "loyalty test" of the far right? Many posts on this site suggest the latter. This is how symbols lose their meaning. "Many understand the flag to represent the freedoms and rights guaranteed in the U.S. Constitution and its Bill of Rights and perhaps most of all to be a symbol of individual and personal liberty as set forth in the Declaration of Independence. The flag is a complex and contentious symbol, around which emotions run high." -- wikipedia So far, we're batting 000. Anyone else want to try to rise above the mullosk IQ level of the first two comments? The flag always has been and should remain a uniting national symbol. For one party to claim ownership of that symbol, as the GOP has, and attempt to use it like a club against those on the other side of the aisle is ludicrous at best, and treasonous at worst. The far right mocks the flag's meaning when they play these games. A brilliant post here, in case you missed it: I swear, the past 8 years have turned so many Americans into children. Its like when I was a kid, if I didn't wear my "friendship necklace" to school, I couldn't be apart of the "Strawberry Shortcake Club." And it is hilarious to hear adults doing the same thing as a bunch of 7 year olds. G.W. set all these new rules... and it started with his "your either with us, or against us" tirade. Its the new McCarthyism... if you don't fit a certain mould, you are a terrorist. That is how brainwashed people have become.

what do u guys think about this? WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Supreme Court confronts whether race can be used in deciding where students to go to school on Monday, testing the willingness of President George W. Bush's two newest court appointees to overturn programs to foster racial diversity. ADVERTISEMENT In a pair of cases that could affect millions of students nationwide, the high court will consider whether the U.S. Constitution's guarantee of equality allows public elementary, middle and high schools to use race as a factor in admissions. A sharply divided Supreme Court voted 5-4 in 2003 when it last addressed similar issues and ruled that racial preferences can be used in university admission decisions. Oral arguments on Monday should offer insights into the views on this hot-button social issue from the court's newest members, Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito, conservatives who joined the nine-member court last term. Alito replaced the more moderate Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, author of the 2003 ruling that left unresolved whether race also can be used as a factor in deciding admissions to elementary and high schools. As U.S. Justice Department lawyers in the early 1980s during Ronald Reagan's presidency, both Roberts and Alito strongly opposed quotas and some affirmative action programs designed to benefit minorities. In one case before the high court, Seattle used race as a tie-breaking factor in deciding who gets into which of the city's public high schools when too many students seek admission to the same school. School officials there aim for each school to have about 40 percent white students and 60 percent racial minorities, reflecting the city's overall racial composition. In the other case, the Louisville, Kentucky-area school district used racial guidelines to keep black student enrollment at most elementary, middle and high schools at between 15 percent and 50 percent to maintain diversity. A group of parents in Seattle and the parent of a white student in Louisville who had been denied entry into his neighborhood school challenged the use of race. Their lawyers said the Supreme Court has yet to decide a case involving a school district's voluntary use of race-based pupil assignments for a purpose other than to remedy the effects of past segregation. Both supporters and opponents of the programs cited the Supreme Court's historic Brown v. Board of Education ruling in 1954 that outlawed racial segregation in the nation's public schools. 'PRESERVE DESEGREGATED EDUCATION' Theodore Shaw of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund Inc., a civil rights group in New York, urged the court to "preserve and pursue the soul of desegregated education enshrined in Brown and its progeny." "The Orwellian arguments that voluntary integration efforts constitute racial discrimination in violation of the ... (Constitution), if validated by this court, would be an unwarranted and tragic reversal of historic proportions," he said in written arguments. The Bush administration's top courtroom lawyer, Solicitor General Paul Clement, also invoked the 1954 ruling in urging the court to strike down both programs. Clement argued the two race-based student assignment plans are just as unconstitutional as the school segregation policy struck down in 1954. "The promise of this court's landmark decision in Brown and its progeny was to effectuate a transition to a racially nondiscriminatory school system and thus achieve a system of determining admission to the public schools on a nonracial basis," he said. Clement and lawyers for the parents will argue against the plans. Attorneys for the two school districts will defend the programs as constitutional
A quick test of common knowledge, that sadly is not common? I spent around an hour looking at posts, and was stunned at some of the incorrect responses that people gave. So for kicks I wanted to ask a few questions and see what answers I got. 1) Who was the primary author of the Constitution? 2) What is the difference in a liberal and a conservative political stance? 3) Who elects the president of the U.S.A. 4) Is America a democracy or a republic? 5) How many senators are there? 6) Can felons vote in any state?
