Who's smarter than a 1954 8th-grader? This sample civics test from 1954 illustrates how far and low our education system has fallen. How well would you do?

 I think today, even if they could give a test as "tough" as this one, they'd skip the Second Amendment. Maybe the Ninth and Tenth as well.

When I read the test, a few things came to mind;

1. I wish the Supreme Court still had the caliber of jurists like William O. Douglas and Hugo Black

2. We have become a nation of dim-bulbs.

3.  One he got wrong should have been right; "Who regulates interstate commerce?" -    The State Government.

4. I wonder where Kenny Hignite is today.
