Do you believe everyone in the US should have to pass the citizenship test as part of high school curriculum?

or by 18 if you choose not to/are not able to graduate? Should we be required to pass same test that all legal immigrants take and swear to the same oath that legal immigrants do?

Link to oath - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oath_of_Allegiance_%2...

This oath may be of interest to those who refer to themselves as (nationality)-Americans.

    That is a very good idea, so I have to answer that with a resounding, YES! As long as the liberals that know nothing about legal immigration don't give the test.

    sure, sure, sure. and additionally make everyone decrease than the age of 18 circulate by using 6-8 weeks of easy militia preparation. they desire somebody to yell at them from 6 inches away, plus they desire the discipline. in my view, i like the recommendations propagated in "Starship infantrymen." Make a difference between Civilians and electorate. with the intention to get carry of Citizenship, necessary 2 years militia provider.

    So what if you fail the citizenship test you're deported from your friends, family, job, everything? That and you basically learn American values going through High School anyway so what's the point? Also should people with mental disability take the test as well?

    I think 80% of people at 18 should go into public service for 2 years: military, medical, public works, etc.
