civics: I passed my American Citizenship civics exam last week. It had taken a long time for me to get all the necessary paperwork filled out, but I finally have a date to go get naturalized. The test itself wasn’t as hard as I’d been led to believe, but I can see it being tricky to people who didn’t have an American education. It had simple questions, such as “How many stars are on the US Flag?” and “What do they mean?”, through “What is the Bill of Rights?” and “Who was Martin Luther King?”
I resisted the temptation to answer “Martin Luther King Jr’s Father” to the last one. That was probably wise. It might have been a test to weed out pedants.
