[quote:Anonymous Coward 1231076:MV8xMzI1NDE1XzIxNzU3ODM3X0NBOTc4MzUx] [quote:Epic Beard Guy] 72% Never taken a class on Government. 88% and haven't had a class on government since grade school. That is part of the problem. Our schools don't teach civics or government classes anymore. Political science classes in college are nothing but progressive propaganda. I took a class on law enforcement that was taught by the county sheriff. That one taught me that who you know is way more important than the law. Our children and grand children are not being taught this stuff. We need to change that. Every kid should know what the Constitution says.[b] A class on government and the Constitution should be required.[/b] [/quote] We had one in the long ago.. it was called 'civics'. [/quote]

The Intercollegiate Studies Institute polled 2500 people including 164 elected officials. 74% of Elected officials, and 71% of the general population failed the test. You can read the story here. [

I am embarrassed to say I only got 88%. Please take the test and post your scores to see how much smarter GLPers are than the Elected officials that are supposed to support the document they know so little about. You can take the quiz as many times as you want, but please post your first score hear.
To simplify the posting here is a poll.
