True-False test questions for college students
1. Declaring your campus a "Weapon-Free Zone" will prevent mass murderers from shooting students and professors.
2. Any well-known historian, author, and expert on formal Islamic discrimination against Jews and Christians who points out the incompatibility between jihadic "tolerance" and human rights based on the equality of all human beings is hateful and wrong.
3. Dropping the word "Confederate" from the name of a dormitory is an important part of dealing with the issue of race relations in the United States, and the diversity of the college experience should not include any historical signs of Confederate origin.
4. The United States, which is a free republic, is morally equivalent to savage, totalitarian regimes such as Iraq.
5. Female college students must be protected at all times from accidentally viewing and being offended by quasi-sexual content on another student's computer . Futhermore, if the student that they accuse of sexual harassment goes public to depend himself, this must be viewed as "retaliation" against the accusers.
6. A pro-life student group cannot be allowed to officially exist at a university unless they agree to amend their constitution to include an anti-death-penalty position, because to advocate "pro-life principles [only] as applied to abortion, euthanasia, and assisted suicide" is too narrow. Other narrowly-focused student groups, such as those limiting their members to include only those of a certain race, sex, or political viewpoint, need not be constrained by this rule.
7. Professors should be encouraged to state explicit guidelines for classroom discussions that demand that students accept as fact the existence of many forms of institutionalized oppression in, and the systematic and ingrained distribution of misinformation by, the United States. Any professor who does so is not obligated to supply any proof for these statements.
The correct answer in each case is "False". See, who said you couldn't test higher-order thinking with simple multiple-choice and true-false questions?
