It sounds unnecessary to me. As far as I know, government or civics classes are required in high school already, and presumably you have to pass your classes in order to graduate.

I know some states do testing for graduation, like New York's Regents exams, but most don't.

If you can pass the class you should be able to pass the test. If you cannot pass the test then you probably need to re-take the class?

There are surely a lot of things the state mandates schools must cover and test on already, this is just a change that is making the news. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength
