Obama's community service would be required. Currently in my school district, community service is required to get a degree. I am against government required community service. Both Obama's plan and my kid's school plan are inappropriate. Required community service for kids is an assault on inalienable rights. As a parent, within reason, I will decide if and what my kids do. The government should not be doing that.

You are still missing the point. as long as the government is giving money to education, they can require what ever they deem ‘appropriate’... enter... the department of education. it should be disbanded, effective immediately, make the school districts be responsible to their community- not some government bureaucrat and their constituents

What? I simply said that it is inappropriate for the government through the schools to require community service. And of course the Department of Education should be abolished. Gee what a novel idea.

I was born and raised in texas, i now live in boston, in my district, there were just over 1200 that voted, 19 of us voted for McCain, don’t try to lecture me about being conservative, or a newbie...this website should exist to try and use conservative voices to preserve the GOP and the American way of life, not prove ‘who is more conservative’ — pathetic..

I didn't say you weren't conservative and I didn't call you a newbie.

Another ironic post from you. I don't know what your problem is but YOUR two posts to me are pathetic.
