[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 4248118, member: 26737"] I don't think the citizenship exam should be given in any language other than English, but I can see the other side of this particular issue. What you're testing is the student's knowledge of US civics, so you don't want a language barrier to interfere with that. It's all well and good to say they should know English, but what if they're they're the older kids of newly naturalized citizens, and they're learning English, but not yet proficient in it? It's a pretty good bet that they know more of the info needed to pass the exam than most native-born students, but are they going to be fairly assessed on that if they're having trouble reading the questions and answers?
