“separation of church and state” found?8. What U.S. Supreme Court ruling led to desegregation of pub-

lic schools?9. Name the living former U.S. presidents.10. When and how was West Virginia created as a state?I hope this test proved enlightening to each of you who took it,

either by confirming your knowledge of U.S. history and civics or helping you to identify gaps and fill those gaps in. Our country would be stronger, more resilient and would vote more intelligently if more of our people took to heart the task of becoming a citizen, meaning someone able to choose wisely at the polls and thus help steer our nation in the right direction.

attitude, “Who cares?”These actions/behaviors suggest that Trump is unfit to serve

as president of the United States - that he is using the highest and most important office in America for his and his family’s personal, financial benefit.

Investigations will likely show a collusion with Russia during the campaign and still influencing the Trump presidency. Unacceptable!

legitimacy than the jerry-rigged legislating of a president wielding a pen and a phone.

President Obama’s executive amnesties rendered the left’s warnings about Trump during the campaign a little tinny. What was the worst a President Trump could do? Push for legislation, and when it failed, impose it on his own? Obama had already done it, and neither the former president nor his supporters have second thoughts, yet warn hourly of Trump’s threats to our constitu-tional system.

President Trump has exer-cised his powers foolishly at times, but he’s never exceeded them. What Obama calls, pejo-ratively, the White House shift-ing “its responsibility for these young people to Congress” is really just basic civics. Congress writes the laws, even when it’s not to Barack Obama’s liking.
