It would be hypocritical, for example, to pretend that everyone in Western liberal democracies is enthusiastic about gay people or nudists – what matters is that their rights be respected, not that everyone like them. Tests should communicate lessons about rights and democracy, that is, politics – not about lifestyles or the supposed core content of a “national culture” (on which established members of a host country themselves would probably be hard pressed to reach consensus).
上述实例给我们的启示是，国家政府不应在本国现有公民仍然存在分歧的情况下，对移民测试某些道德和文化问题。比方说，假装西方自由民主社会里的每个人都热衷于同性恋或裸体主义者就是一种虚伪——重要的是他们的权利得到尊重，而不是强求他们得到所有人的喜爱。考试所传递的应当是权利和民主的理念，也可以叫做政治理念，而不是用来灌输生活方式或所谓“民族文化”的核心内容（在这些问题上，即便东道国现有的公民恐怕也很难达成一致）。
