Fox & Friends ponders bringing back polling tests
(Daily Kos) On Monday, Utah Civics Education Initiative co-chair Lorena Riffo-Jensen told [Fox & Friends host Elisabeth Hasselbeck] that requiring a civics test was a good first step for encouraging students to be involved in the community.
Hasselbeck suggested taking the idea “one step further” by requiring a test to vote. […]
“I think, personally, that anything you can do to ensure that our young people, our families are involved in civics, learning the history of our country is a positive,” Riffo-Jensen agreed. “And furthermore, how can you go into planning what the generation will do in the future if you’re not prepared and understanding where we have been… You cannot be engaged without having the full knowledge and understanding of your nation.”
“It’s a more meaningful measure when you vote perhaps too,” Hasselbeck declared.
So I guess it's Fox & Friends of Segregationists then.
