Unfortunately, in the US, there's a pretty ugly historical precedent for this practice, and it doesn't leave much faith in people's ability to actually write the questions fairly.
- jessaustin 9y agoEverywhere anything like this has been done, it has been a travesty. Elitists should have the courage of their convictions, like e.g. ancient Athens had. At least there's less bullshit that way.
- BrandoElFollito 9y agoIs it being elitist to require someone to know wher your country is located? Or who your president is? It is not a shame to be illiterare or dumb, or mentally unfit. This does not mean that the future of a country should be put in these people hands. I will never be a pilot because of health issues. I do not see it as discrimination but just the pragmatic reality of this world.
- jessaustin 9y agoEveryone knows where my country is located and who "my" president is. (I didn't vote for him!) Which country's location and/or president concerns you? If you say "Slovenia" or "Bhutan", then yes it is elitist to think any voter should have to know that location or person.
