Texas Republican State Representative (See?  You’re already giggling, right?)Bill Zedler wants to file a bill requiring that all high school seniors should have to pass a civics test before they can graduate.

Not a bad idea and I’m pretty impressed that a Republican came up with that.  Until he didn’t know when to shuddup.

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.”

Close, Bill, but no cigar.  World War II started a tad earlier than that.

On the upside, this tea party gun-toting fool didn’t give his answer to what the Civil War was fought over, but I bet the answer involved the words “northern aggression.”

And nobody asked him the exact date the Declaration of Independence was signed.  I’ll be willing to wager a pony ride that he doesn’t know.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
