Americans Fail Naturalization Civics Test

There is something terribly wrong with American schools.

One in three Americans is incapable of passing the naturalization civics test.

From U.S. News & World Report:

As Americans prepare to pick the next president of the United States in November, a survey out of the Center for the Study of the American Dream at Xavier University finds that one out of three U.S. citizens fails the civics portion of the immigrant naturalization test. The survey of more than 1,000 voting-age Americans asked respondents 10 random questions from the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services civics exam, which is administered as part of the immigration process, finding that 35 percent answered five or less questions correctly. More than 97 percent of immigrants applying for citizenship pass the test.

Native-born citizens fared best on questions related to history and geography and struggled most with questions about the function of government, specifically on questions about the Constitution and those that asked to identify current policy-makers. Other parts of the study show respondents were overwhelmingly confused about powers granted to the federal government and those granted to individual states.

I'm not surprised.

For years, schools have been failing to educate students.

This is the result of a school system that has shifted away from teaching the basics of government and instead focusing on indoctrinating students with liberal trash.
