MSNBC’s Citizenship Test…..Apparently they need to read the Constitution!

Filed under: Stupid Quizzes, Education, Absurd or Outrageous — Toni @ 8:25 am

Interestingly I had received an email with a link to this test. MSNBC says this is some of the actual questions from the test. What they didn’t tell us is that the multiple choice format is not how the test is delivered. From Rawfisher I found out that the test is an oral test with no multiple choice.

First, question 20 of the test is invalid since there is no correct answer within the multiple choice options. I had just taken the test this morning and got to question 20. Hmmm. No right answer here. What there is with question 20 is the propaganda pushed by the ACLU. It’s that “freedom of religion” misnomer which has become the accepted fact of the nation.

Here’s Question 20 of MSNBC’s Citizenship Test:

20. Which of these contains three rights or freedoms guaranteed by the Bill of Rights?

1. Right to life, right to liberty, right to the pursuit of happiness

2. Freedom of speech, freedom of press, freedom of religion

3. Right to protest, right to protection under the law, freedom of religion

4. Freedom of religion, right to elect representatives, human rights

So, here’s the actual language of Amendment 1 of the US Constitution:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise therof; or abridging the the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Do you see “Freedom of religion” anyplace in the text of this amendment?  BTW - I got 100% except of course for question 20. 

Here’s the link to the actual quiz:
