Not Quite

Texas state Rep. Bill Zedler (Arlington) wants all high school students to pass a civics test before they can graduate, similar to the one I mentioned in Arizona a little while ago.

What caught my attention from this article was the last paragraph.

When asked whether he took a quiz, Zedler said, “No, but I think I would do pretty well. I know the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776. I know World War II was started Dec. 7, 1941. I know what the Civil War was fought over.”

He may want to brush up on his WWII history.  That war started before U.S. involvement, buddy.

Funniest quote from Reddit regarding this article, “Obviously it’s not a World War until the US is officially in it, right? Before that date, it was just the pre-season.”
