Sad to say but a third grader knows more about democracy than all the Republicans who voted earlier this week not to investigate the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol.
As far as I am concerned, in order to protect America's grand experiment, no new members of Congress should be allowed to take the oath of office until they pass a basic Civics 101 exam.
It may sound harsh, but nothing less than the future of democracy is at stake. Don't take my word for it. Ask an 8-year-old.
