Citizenship Test Gets Overhaul

New questions focus less on the nitty-gritty

(NEWSER) - The government yesterday unveiled its new citizenship test, which puts less emphasis on memorization of facts and more on analysis.

29% of Us Can't Name the VP

And this 'American ignorance' threatens our nation: Andrew Romano

(NEWSER) - Newsweek recently gave the US citizenship test to 1,000 US citizens, and 38% failed. A full 73% didn't know why we fought the Cold War; 44% couldn't define the Bill of Rights; 29% couldn't even name the vice president. "Civic ignorance is nothing new," writes Andrew Romano, but the world is "becoming more and more inhospitable to incurious know-nothings—like us."

A conservative think tank asked thousands of high school kids to answer 10 questions drawn from the citizenship test given to recent immigrants. Would-be citizens have to answer six correctly, and 92% do so on their first try. By contrast, only 3% of the Oklahoma students would have. More»

US Citizenship Requests Tumble

Come on, why wouldn't you want to live here?

(NEWSER) - It seems fewer people want to hop into the American melting pot these days, as applications for citizenship have fallen off a cliff, the Dallas Morning News reports. After receiving a record 1.4 million requests from legal residents looking to becoming naturalized in fiscal year 2007, US Citizenship and Immigration Services got just 518,000 applications in 2008. “We are seeing the effect of the economy,” said an agency deputy director.
