Arizona to Require Students Pass Civics Test to Graduate

Who is the vice president? What does the constitution do? Those are questions students in Arizona will now have to know in order to graduate high school. Arizona is the first state to enact a law requiring students to pass a civics exam in order to graduate.

Dennis welch put students and lawmakers to the test.

We want to hear from YOU! What do you think about adding another test? Should students be able to answer questions about American government in order to graduate? And if Ohio added a civics test requirement, what test would you like it to replace? Let us know how YOU feel about this issue, and we'll show some of your responses during next week's show.
