The tests were administered verbally. You walked in and were asked to read a passage to the officials. But what really happened was when good ol’ boy walked in they said “we know you can read so you pass”. If someone could read it they were failed for memorizing the passage.
It's because schools haven't used scientifically based reading instruction. In others words, it's not taught correctly. K-3 you're supposed to learn to read; 4th⬆️ read to learn. They've dropped the ball K-3
In order to vote, you must be able to diagram a sentence with at least one dependent clause (in honor of all the red states economically dependent on blue states).
I grew up in a state where elections would see turnouts of 20 percent. To hell with “literacy tests.” Voting is a right, not a privilege yo be granted or withheld depending on someone’s idea of the“right” result.
The vast majority of these adults graduated/dropped out of high school pre 1995.
They are the reason we created the DOE, had the frightening education report in 1983, put the testing in, & created Common Core.
Any adult that says they want to go back to those before times is suspect for illiteracy.
Exclude them from ever voting again. They shouldn't even be allowed to come near a voting booth ever again Anybody who voted for him was definitely not a sharp tool in anyone's shed. They will definitely regret it.
Well, the problem is, the orange traitor went to Fordham University before transferring to the University of Pennsylvania where he earned an economics degree from Penn’s Wharton School.
I'm afraid he'd pass your literacy test, but we sure wouldn't want him voting, much less running our country.
Of course not. I deal w homeless people who don't read very well but are smarter than most of us about the world. The do watch the news and not just one channel or cable outlet, and often are quite wise. Seriously, that isn't a test. It's merely a barrier and will be used against the poor and POC.
It becomes serious when it is taken out of context in a screenshot and distributed to the trolls. Subtlety requires attention span, critical thinking and attention to nuance. Those are high standards in the era of click bait.
It's weird that any of them think we care about just Trump anymore. I keep getting hit with TDS comments and I'm like, "bro we are SO far past *waves hands in the air* orange man bad. YOUR FAMILY is in danger you absolute dumbfuck. You put all of us in danger and you're cheering for it you dipshit!"
