Give us your indoctrinated, your brainwashed…

The latest howler from our beloved government: a revised citizenship test:

BBC | US unveils new citizenship test[…]Mr Gonzalez says those who want to become US citizens should not be allowed to do so by simply rattling off historical facts they have memorised but should show a passion for the country of which they are becoming an integral part. The new questions will require those taking the exam to demonstrate a deeper understanding of the American political system and its history.[…]

They are going to test this new quiz on immigrant volunteers. What I would really like is for them to test it on some “real” citizens.

Here are some of the new questions:

Why does the United States have three branches of government?Name two rights that are only for US citizensName two cabinet-level positionsName one important idea found in the Declaration of IndependenceWhat does the Constitution do?

I know! I know!!

2. Bigotry and Ignorance

3. Token black person, Secretary of Torture

4. Separate and Equal

5. Gather dust?
