 In IL you have to pass the constitution test both to get into and to graduate high school.  If I recall correctly, the 8th grade test was an IL requirement, but the requirement to pass it again in high school was a national requirement.

The iorny being that they mandated that you take a test proving that you understand that they don't have the legal authority to mandate that you take that test.
