CULTURE/SOCIETY: U.S. Officials And Public Flunk Civics Test

I got this from Yahoo. - OlderMusicGeek

WASHINGTON (AFP) – US elected officials scored abysmally on a test measuring their civic knowledge, with an average grade of just 44 percent, the group that organized the exam said Thursday.

Ordinary citizens did not fare much better, scoring just 49 percent correct on the 33 exam questions compiled by the Intercollegiate Studies Institute (ISI).

I got 27 out of 33 correctly — 81.82% - OMGeek
