Very true. Just like gifted programs in schools. We should keep the bar as low as possible so that no one can ever claim we're racist.

- davidw 5y agoThis isn't about claiming anything. It was very much used in practice for many years in southern states, to keep people who had the "wrong" colored skin from voting. It's great to have high standards for public office, but it's the voters who should hold their elected officials to those, not an arbitrary test imposed by the government.
