Columnist Cal Thomas noted this week that for the second year in a row, students from Ivy League universities didn’t earn above a D+ in the Intercollegiate Studies Institute’s civics test.

Well LOTUS, I came pretty close to your score, but I guess it doesn’t help to know that I’m a Canadian living in Toronto. :)

PS keep up the great work.

I’m impressed. I’d hate to see what I’d score on a test about Canadian history!

LOTUS may have to start posting more pictures if you people don’t get smarter. And I went to Catholic University, DC’s red headed stepson of a college

Well, being that I don’t have a College Diploma and I haven’t had a Civics Lesson in over 12 years, I’m darn proud of my 64.33%
