Yes I understand the historical issues with a literacy test in the past. That being said, illiteracy, whither real or functional, is a growing problem in this country. I also have no problem making sure citizens know at least the basics on how their government is run. We require immigrants to take a test, a pretty hard one, before they can become citizens. Why not hold our own people, with the benefit of education, to the same standards?
