Obama To Sentence All Of America To Community Service?

November 7, 2008 | 4 Comments

To quote Nancy Pelosi, “The Party Is Over”

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.

This is not liberal, and not at all a workable component of a liberal society. It is ultra-ultra-conservative. Forcing kids to work is not going to gain President Obama any young friends.

Why use the term “require” when the American way is to “encourage” or “incentivize”. Or has that all changed?

    If this service is MANDATORY, then what would be the PENALTY if someone REFUSES? DOES ANY ONE KNOW?
