Iowa Students Could Have To Take a Civics Test to Graduate

Starting with the class of 2027 Iowa students would have to take a  test before they can graduate high school if the governor signs a bill into law. Yesterday the Iowa House followed what the senate already passed and agreed on a proposal that would require students to pass a civics test. The test questions come from the test that immigrants in the process of becoming citizens must take. Students would have to reach a 60%or higher on the multiple choice test. They could take it unlimited times as they need in order to pass the test. The bill passed the Iowa Senate earlier in the week. It is now up to Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds if it will become law.
