"The U.S. Public Service Academy will be an undergraduate institution devoted to developing civilian leaders for the public sector. Modeled on the military academies, the Academy will offer four years of tuition-free education in exchange for five years of civilian service following graduation. Its mission will be to educate, develop, and inspire civilian leaders who have the character, intellect, and experience necessary to serve the nation honorably and effectively, and who are committed to devoting their lives to public service.
The initiative to build the Academy was launched by two Teach For America alumni in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, when the American people witnessed serious failures of public leadership at all levels of government. Since it was established in early 2006, the Academy has made tremendous progress.
We have built an advisory board of more than 50 experts in public policy, education, the military, business, and non-profit. To help us draft our Blueprint, we created a Blueprint Advisory Board with more than five dozen experts in higher education, the military, and government.
In the 110th Congress, we had identical bipartisan bills before the Senate (S. 960) and the House (HR 1671), with 24 senators and 123 representatives signed on as co-sponsors. Many members of the Obama administration — including Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, Rahm Emanuel, and Tom Daschle — are supporters of the Academy.
The Academy has earned endorsements from prominent individuals such as Madeleine Albright, Mike Huckabee, and Sandra Day O’Connor; several dozen well-respected organizations such as America’s Promise, City Year, and Youth Service America; and more than 70 college presidents...
We invite you to learn more about how the U.S. Public Service Academy will meet the changing needs of America’s public institutions during the 21st century."

Personally I like the idea of the USPSA provided their school mascot is a pig in honor of the greatest government tradition - namely pork.
Their hats have an acorn shell shape to them.
So essentially what zero is proposing is completing the circle of Plato’s Republic — The Philosopher Class (pelosi, reid, schumer, zero, and the rest of the libs...as they see themselves), the “Guardian Class” of Plato’s Republic...there to protect the Philosopher Class...which is really nothing more than communism.
Since the Warrior Class (the military) has never bought into the whole left-wing ideology...he had to create a separate class to defend the left’s pathetic ideology...sort of keep the indoctrination going from public school through the Academy...hhhhhuuuummmmm.
LOL ... Yes, you are right ...
I think the intent is the best and brightest from the lower class will be directed to take advanced courses.
In any event it is a total waste. The government should be the people, not the people becoming the government. MARXISM, with just a focus change.

School motto: Where’s the hos and dobbies, dude?
Required courses:
Purse swinging 101
White flag waving
How to drop your rifle without shooting yourself
Whining for dollars
Crying for dollars
Where’s my gas money, obuma
How to eat junk food and gain 300 pounds a year
How to work a defibrillator
Where will this go? It may be ripe for the full implementation of OBE and possibly even genetic profiling. Hillary is digging this, I’m sure.
A knock-off of the Ecole Nationale d’Administration aka ENA, a very selective elitist school of public administration. They all come our as Marxists - Sarkozy is the first president of France who didn’t attend it. George Soros is the man behind the curtain.
We sure need to ratchet up the call of freedom and liberty before it’s too late. Looks like it’s duty of the people to do so. I doubt Obama will ever speak the words.
With this I agree, Glen Beck has started this whole ‘principles thing’ and he is dead on with how to do it. Teach the principles, live the principles and then govern by the principles. I am not sure his list is 100% correct, but the idea sure is.
I wish we would have a confab and agree on the principles. I would like Rush to step up and put down his marker on the nine principles Beck has chosen.
We already have the leftisit kennedy school at harvard, which I am sure is 99% government funded, anyway.
We don’t need another one.
The Service Academy's first dean.
I had to work her in somehow
Great catch!
When BUSH wanted a much smaller/similar thing all that the media would repeat was the:
The Posse Comitatus Act is a United States federal law (18 U.S.C. § 1385) passed on June 16, 1878 after the end of Reconstruction, with the intention (in concert with the Insurrection Act of 1807) of substantially limiting the powers of the federal government to use the military for law enforcement. The Act prohibits most members of the federal uniformed services (today the Army, Air Force, and State National Guard forces when such are called into federal service) from exercising nominally state law enforcement, police, or peace officer powers that maintain “law and order” on non-federal property (states and their counties and municipal divisions) within the United States.
The statute generally prohibits federal military personnel and units of the National Guard under federal authority from acting in a law enforcement capacity within the United States, except where expressly authorized by the Constitution or Congress. The Coast Guard is exempt from the Act.
Zero can’t do it>>>>>>>>> until the law is changed.
