Alabama High School Seniors May Have to Take Citizenship Test
Some lawmakers want high school seniors to pass the U.S. citizenship test before graduating.
Senator Arthur Orr and Representative Terri Collins said Monday that they are introducing the bill in the 2017 legislative session that begins next week.
Orr said everyone should have a "working knowledge of our government."
The legislation would require students pass the test, with at least a 60 percent grade, in order to get a diploma. Students would be able to take the test multiple times.
