Citizenship Test

The INS has increased the difficulty of the citizenship exam.  Instead of ‘what do the stripes on the flag mean?’ it’s ‘What are the Federalist Papers, and who wrote them?’ 

I’m starting to warm to the idea – on one condition.  Like the driver’s test, this should apply to everybody, including those born here. Either this knowledge is fundamental for citizenship, or it’s not.  If we apply it to everybody equally, we can't be accused of just putting obstacles in front of immigrants. 

That's not what we're doing is it?
