Iowa bill advances requiring high schoolers to pass U.S. citizenship test questions to graduate.

An Iowa bill, House Study Bill 30, is advancing to the House floor, requiring high school students to pass six out of ten questions from the U.S. citizenship test to graduate. The bill, which passed the House Education Committee 14-8, allows retakes but has raised concerns about implementation and the pressure of basing graduation on one test. Some lawmakers suggest expanding American history education instead.
