 You’d think everyone who went to public school since it’s required curriculum, like it’s something you learn in elementary school and you learn it over and over again from then

 They teach you things your brain can’t comprehend at a very young age so you forget and then eat up all their lies later on in life. That’s why a large % of the population doesn’t even know this basic fact about their country

 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.
