SNOPES: Project 2025 Wants All Public High School Students To Take Military Entrance Exam........? [View all]

Claim:
Project 2025, a conservative coalition's plan for a future U.S. Republican presidency, proposes that all public high school students should be required to take the military entrance exam.

TRUE!

The exact sentence of Project 2025's "Mandate for Leadership 2025: The Conservative Promise" document, reads: "Improve military recruiters' access to secondary schools and require completion of the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) — the military entrance examination — by all students in schools that receive federal funding."
