in thread Of Dead Trees and Democracy

The problem with a civics test is that there were "civics" tests in some areas of the south to keep blacks from voting.
You'd have to fix the schools before this could even be attempted.
And yes, some people's lack of knowledge appalls me.
Anecdote: "That looks like something Jacqueline Kennedy would of worn"
"Who's she?"
It devolved from there.

    Well, who is Jacqueline Kennedy? :)

    To their credit though, knowing who Jacqueline Kennedy is is less of a civics thing and more of a (ducking, knowing this may not be popular) history factiod.

    And no, I don't own 27 pairs of sweatpants.
