Well, there’s also editing, curriculum design, educational administration, human resources, marketing...

But I take your point, and appreciate the words of support all the same.

we’re never going to get an actual debate on the merits of these systems.

Right now there are four main ways to legally immigrate to the United States:

The civics test is already a load of horseshit, as I guarantee you even most PoliSci majors would have trouble passing it on the first go, and we’re asking this of people who may—at times—be coming here with little knowledge of the nation apart from, “My family can be safe there.”

The English comprehension bit is also…

It will never read that way on this site. Ever.

I knew plenty of my cohort who behaved poorly at their jobs. I was trained by a friend at a fast food restaurant and the first thing she told me was, “The point of this job is to waste time until break.” That was during the Reagan administration.  It’s not kids these days- we did it too.  You may not have (I…
