Absolutely! It's just a complete coincidence that the people who the school system is failing are barred from fixing it because in order to pass the test you have to have done well in school. It makes perfect sense.

It's not like the US has a history of refusing to educate people, and then refusing to let them participate in civic matters by gating that access behind tests. The US certainly has never, say, made passing a test a requirement to vote to disenfranchise people.

And we all know that, of course, that any test would be super effective at preventing the abuse the above article is about. You just put the question "are you sexually attracted to children," on the test. That way you'd keep out creeps. And no one would ever lie on a test. That'd be ridiculous.

I don't know why people are disagreeing. It's a perfect system!

Who comes up with what's in these tests? Should we elect someone for that job?

there is no test to run for, or be on a school board.

what would this test be, exactly? are you saying school board members should have to pass a civil service type of test before they can run, or after they are elected?

Shhhh, don't overload them with reason, it's rare to see this kind of naivete in it's natural form.
