Obama wants forced labor for school children
Office of the President-Elect ^ | 11-05-08 | Office of the President-Elect

America Serves

"When you choose to serve -- whether it's your nation, your community or simply your neighborhood -- you are connected to that fundamental American ideal that we want life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness not just for ourselves, but for all Americans. That's why it's called the American dream."

The Obama Administration will call on Americans to serve in order to meet the nation’s challenges. President-Elect Obama will expand national service programs like AmeriCorps and Peace Corps and will create a new Classroom Corps to help teachers in underserved schools, as well as a new Health Corps, Clean Energy Corps, and Veterans Corps. 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. Obama will encourage retiring Americans to serve by improving programs available for individuals over age 55, while at the same time promoting youth programs such as Youth Build and Head Start.

They already do that in California.

It is so very wrong.

Sending a child to government school really ought to be considered child abuse. Or are they going to mandate that homeschoolers and private schools also comply? (Or else!)

An awful idea. I already volunteer in my community by teaching ESL. But I chose to do it. I will NOT be bullied into it.

The best thing about volunteering is that people are happy to be there and enjoy it and don’t want to make trouble for other people.

No what will be ruined.

Some kinds of "forced labor" could be good for kids.

I understand Japanese schools, for example, have no janitors. The students themselves clean up after themselves every day.

I would look forward to this kind of approach to education, and teach American kids to look after themselves. But I don't think that's what anyone who is behind this silly "community service" sh!t really has in mind.

An important note is how this will be done. For years, whenever the federal government adds requirements to local schools, they do it with the threat of “compliance, or lose your federal aid money.”

That is, more “unfunded mandates.” It will have to be coercive, otherwise the vast majority of schools wouldn’t do any of the things the feds demand.

How can you “choose” to serve when it is required?

Does getting this fool out of office count as community service?

The war on private schools and homeschooling will accelerate. They are a threat to the path of the Obama Nation.
