Can YOU ace the US Citizenship Exam? —- (Also …. JOOS!!)

The Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation tested 41,000 Americans comprising all 57 states.

—– Vermont is the ONLY state where the majority (even then, by only 53%) of residents passed the history questions on the US Citizenship Exam.

—– Louisiana had the most dumb-asses — only 27% passed.  Followed by;  WY, SD, MT, VA, KY, AR, AL, MS.  (Lots of Southerners!)

Can YOU pass?  (Me? I aced it. Truly.  But, I totally guessed on question 17.)

Question: This is an incredibly easy history test. What does it say about Americans when the majority fail? Me? I say a nation with no past has no future.

[Note:  I added “JOOS” to the title only in hopes of getting this to 400.  TIA.)
