An Indiana lawmaker says high school grads ought to know at least as much about civics as the nation's newest citizens, and he wants to put them to the test.

He plans to introduce a bill during the upcoming legislative session, which convenes next week.
"I believe that if we're asking someone from a foreign country to know this information, that our own citizens ought to know it," Kruse told the paper.
