repubs thinking of even more ways to suppress the vote

1. We should all be able to pass

a civics test. This should have nothing to do with voting.

2. It only makes sense on one condition--

It can only take effect after mandatory, age appropriate civics classes are taught in every public AND private K—12 classroom. Upon passing a final exam in the senior year, every high school graduate is automatically registered to vote. Oh, and media literacy should be included, so voters of the future will know how to tell truth from lies and propaganda.

4. Great conditions...

Let’s add one more class…Critical Thinking.

5. +1 n/t

10. That will never happen

Every teacher that's tried it had to stop no later than halfway through a semester because parents hate it. Their kids start questioning everything they say, and then mummy and daddy are crying to the school to make it stop.

Because parents don't want kids you can think. They want kids who are obedient.

8. Bringing back civics classes is a great idea!

If anyone should be taking civics tests to prove competency, it's those serving in and running for Congress. See how well some of them would score... there are those highly likely to fail even after taking a civics class.

9. Certain names come immediately to mind. n/t

11. You do know that civics never went away

Contrary to the debunked lies out there, 42 states require at least a semester of it for graduation. Most of the rest fold it into a social studies requirement.

Really.

So please stop swallowing and regurgitating this well-known nonsense.

3. Most republicans can't tell you how many branches of government

there are, let alone name them. This amendment would make it harder for republicans to vote.

6. This would eliminate waay more GOPers than Dems.

7. This is nothing more that a statistical game - they know that younger people

tend to be less conservative so it would definately affect less GOP voters. Even if it were to 1-2% that would be significant in a close race.

Their whole strategy is cut 1% here and there and it will add up collectively. Their days are numbered and they will continue to try every tactic imaginable to stay in power.

Ethics, decency, and our Democracy are meaningless to the GOP - it is pretty obvious.
