Tennessee Considering Citizenship Test For Graduates To Acquire High School Diploma
This is interesting. The Tennessee General Assembly is one of eight state legislatures considering in order for high school seniors to graduate, they must pass a citizenship test.
The legislation would require students who attend and graduate high school January 1, 2016 to take a 100 question civics exam and to get at least 60 questions correct in order to get a diploma. Schools would also have to provide as many opportunities as possible for students to pass the exam, in other words, no passage, no diploma.
The other states considering a similar bill include: Arizona, Louisiana, Missouri, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, and Utah.
