"Dautrich said freshmen there scored so high that they “had less room to move up.”"

I don't think he should be too proud of graduating students who average 67.26% on such a test. It's great that Grove City College requires more study of the "history of civilization" than other colleges, but it looks like they don't require too much study of AMERICAN civilization.

That's what I've been saying all along. If Harvard and Grove City College, with their less than satisfactory scores, are considered the best of the lot, this country is graduating a lot of students with poor knowledge of civics.

This isn't news to be happy about. But they're SPINNING it that way. Sort of saying, hey -- we failed the test, but look we did much better than the others who failed.
