by "The Obama Administration will call on Americans to serve in order to meet the nation’s challenges. President 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."
I'm aware many of you do not read the news, hate all politics, and probably dislike me and my views. I'm completely okay with it.
However, this is found right off the President's website. For those of you who will say, "it's too technical," or, "it's to hard too read," or, "it's too long," I will shorten it (probably the first time I ever did that) for you.
All High School and Middle School students will have to serve in a "corps" which will deal with Community Service and 'possible disasters'.
This also means, if you have the ability to read between the lines, we will all be trained.
I am not sure how many of you are aware of the implications of this. But, it's similar to the draft, as in forcing us to help out and possibly even military service.
And to top it off, there are two other guys who had corps. In case you are wondering, their names were Joeseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler. And I'd put money that Mao had it, too.
You may say, "Silly Q! You're exaggerating! The great and wonderful would never do that! Quit taking it out of proportion," and I agree. I am not saying President Obama is Hitler.
I am saying Hitler had something called 'Hitler Youth' which forced students to serve. And, regardless of what mad dictators had these, this is a very unconstitutional corps. Since I recently put up a thread about the schools going out of control and we all agreed they were out of line, well, this on the same exact page. How many of you will agree? *Doesn't want to start a huge debate, just point something out*
