Obama’s Office Of The President-Elect Announces Plans For The Obama Youth
No joke. According to Obama’s ridiculous faux-branch of government he wants to establish a “youth corps” and mandate participation in it.
Obama will call on citizens of all ages to serve America, by developing a plan to require 50 hours of community service in middle school and high school and 100 hours of community service in college every year.
Nothing says “freedom” and “liberty” like mandated community service.
Isn’t community service the sort of thing judges sentence drunk drivers and vandals to? Not that I have anything against volunteerism or charity work, but those things should be choices made by free people. Not something demanded by power-drunk politicians.
Update: Interesting angle:
...if President Obama pushes the forced volunteerism angle too hard, guess what’s likely to happen? College-age kids enticed to join AmeriCorps, or ObamaCorps, or WhateverCorps will be kids not joining the U.S. Armed Forces.
ROTC still won’t be allowed on college campuses, but I’m sure ObamaCorps will be heavily represented.
Good point.
