To the editor: So the commander in chief needs to make the civics take a look at tougher (“Trump administration strikes to make U.S. citizenship tougher with revised civics take a look at,” Sept. 18). That’s nice. I’m certain that the folks vying for a spot in our nice nation will really learn the necessities, examine for the take a look at and do effectively. They are going to do that as a result of they got here to this nation to share within the freedoms and tasks written within the Structure. They care about turning into residents.
However I’m not so certain about President Trump or his administration. They appear to treat the Structure, and congressionally authorised legal guidelines, merely as inconvenient tips. Put stress on organizations over their staff exercising their free speech rights? That’s OK. Ignore the separation of church and state? Straightforward. Who cares?
Due to this fact, I suggest that Trump and his cronies ought to be required to take the brand new civics take a look at themselves. In the event that they fail, I consider they need to be booted from the White Home till they study what America and People stand for and consider in.
