LMAO.....teaching to test, ftw. =.=
And the Governor of Oklahoma is a member of the ...... (drum roll)... Democretin Party.
"They're questions taken from the actual exam that you have to take to become a U.S. citizen," Dutcher said.This is why I think we should put 10 citizenship questions on every ballot. Your vote is weighed by the percent correct of the citizenship questions. If you want your vote to count, you should at least know the basics.A thousand students were given 10 questions drawn from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services item bank. Candidates for U.S. citizenship must answer six questions correctly in order to become citizens.
About 92 percent of the people who take the citizenship test pass on their first try, according to immigration service data. However, Oklahoma students did not fare as well. Only about 3 percent of the students surveyed would have passed the citizenship test.
As with everything, we need a demographic breakdown.
Would anybody venture that result?
Okay? ....So?..How many Freepers out there are **still** using the government schools?
This is Oklahoma, folks! This is one of the most conservative states in the union and even their government schools are snake pits of ignorance! Why on earth would you think that your child's government school is somehow better!
Oh!...And if you are attempting to fill in the gaps at home, why not just homeschool? It is far, far, far easier and takes much, much, much LESS time to do it right the first time by simply homeschooling from the beginning!
When are conservatives going to wake up, get their kids out of the government school cesspools, work to shut done every government K-12 school in the nation, and set up private tuition-free alternatives?
I wonder what the % would have been had the answer been a write-in rather than multiple choice.
No surprise in Texas.
We’re doomed.

Shows you why Civics MUST be re-instated as a MANDATORY graduation requirement ...
I wouldn’t worry too much about Oklahoma. According to the ALEC there are 15 states with school systems worse than theirs. They done good.
I don’t believe that stat. Even amongst the denizens of the ghetto. That is WAY overboard.
I was going to post this, glad I checked first.
10/10 for me, though I had to guess on the number of the Supremes.
And yes, the results seem to indicate we’re doomed. I would have assumed Oklahoma would have had pretty decent education. I wonder what the results would be like in California?
Thank you! Carter for your inspired creation of the Department of Education and all The Good it has spawned. NOT!
Liberal Union Teachers. Bet the kids all know about “Earth Day” - even if they can’t spell it...
They ain’t dum! It’s jist nobody ever larned it to ‘em.
