There are no testing standards associated with the history, founding or culture of this nation.

We have quit trying to teach our children how we are suppose to govern ourselves. I think most Seniors in high school have to take at least one semester of “government”. Otherwise there are some social studies classes through our educational system but only as an afterthought to math and science (which we are also failing to teach apparently).

And we wonder why our voting public is so ignorant.

My understanding is that the soft subjects get to both design their own tests and grade them.

Based on approved materials, of course.
