No. The Jim Crow voter discrimination tests were exactly "civics" tests. See the example I posted.
Do you think Jim Crow tests were the right thing to do?
Who is taking a pass on learning something? American students all take junior high school American history and civics class. You have to pass US civics to advance to the next grade.
You were supposed to learn this in Junior High school!
Apparently some can't remember our disgraceful voting rights and civil rights embarrassments as a country.
You said this
Voting is
not a privilege. Voting is a
Constitution Right. Those two things are not the same. The only requirement for voting in this country is to be an American Citizen. There are not requirements for color of skin, not age, not "education", not wealth, not ability to drive (have a photo ID), not ability to bank (have a photo ID), not ability to work, not ability to read.
You just have to be an American citizen. You have to fit nobody's "requirements" but our Constitution.
