How is do you measure up on Civic Literacy?
http://www.americancivicliteracy.org/resources/downloads.aspx Officeholders typically have less civic knowledge than the general public. On average, they score 44%, five percentage points lower than non-officeholders. * Thirty percent of elected officials do not know that “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” are the inalienable rights referred to in the Declaration of Independence. |

I did pretty well on the test myself, I got 31 out of 33 correctly — 93.94 %
I also missed some in the economic section, but as I said in the other thread, I allowed my own view point to push me away from the answer they were looking for. Civics should be a 4 credits to graduate course in high school, getting a credit every school year. |
