Anti-gun bias in citizenship flash cards?
After clicking a link on the right side of the Tucson Citizen local page, I noticed this morning that Gannett’s "Border Divide immigration debate portal" has a Jeopardy-style online quiz consisting of government-printed citizenship test flash cards. Some of it is what you’d expect: questions about who wrote the Declaration of Independence, what the stripes of the American Flag mean, etc.
Then I started going through the 1,000-point questions just to see if I could get one wrong. I’ll take U.S. Rights for 1,000, Alex.
Well, that’s actually kind of debatable. Rights are important, but valuing one or the other isn’t pertinent unless you consider that without the right to bear arms, the government can easily take away the other two without redress. Naturally, (a), not (b), is considered the correct answer in the government-printed flash cards.
Let’s move one question up: U.S. Rights for 800!
This one’s on Gannett, not the government, as the former made up the multiple-choice answers. Way to mock the Second Amendment, you objective journalists.
