And what’s he going to do if they don’t? Public schools, I could see where it might be used as a requirement for graduation. Private schools...how is he going to impose this on them?

Holy crap. He is a nazi and a communist rolled into one. He's a Harvard-indoctrinated, Marxist, hothouse flower; a cowardly, limp-wristed, Marxist metrosexual. Bleah.

Perhaps he’ll “encourage” them by threatening SS. They can either “choose to serve” or they can pay an added tax from their checks.

Amendment XIII
Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
I guess this part of the Constitution is flawed, per Hussein.

Quoting another post somewhere, “The nation gets its first black president and the first thing he does is reinstitute slavery.”

“Private schools...how is he going to impose this on them?”
Maybe through some type of accreditation process where the degrees would not be accepted by state funded, or Ivy League, universities. Where there’s a will, there’s a way.

>>>>>Barack Obama’s own plan to require high school students to perform 50 hours of government-approved service<<<<<
It’s 50 ANNUAL hours of service in grades 7 to 9 and 10 to 12 (middle school and high school).
That’s 6 years of 50 HOURS PER YEAR, 300 hours total.
Then 100 hours PER YEAR in 4 years of college = 400 hours.
700 hours total = 87 workdays
But it’s the requirement over 10 YEARS that is bothersome, because it’s enough time to teach this generation who it is that actually owns their lives (the government).

NOTHING TO SEE, HERE; MOVE ALONG.
AND YOU. CALM DOWN.
MANDATORY SERVITUDE IS ONLY "SLAVERY" WHEN UNAUTHORIZED PEOPLE DO IT, SO GET OVER IT, AND GET BACK IN LINE.

“I dont suppose that my time as a Scout Master in the Boy Scouts of America counts. Probably not.”
Might want to run that by your neighborhood Commissar, but you’re right — probably not. Nor would involvement in your church, either.

Private schools...how is he going to impose this on them? Don't worry - he'll make it so expensive to attend private schools that they'll wither on the vine for lack of students.
Besides, when has the left ever allowed the Constitution to get in the way of their agenda? I think he misspoke back in '01 on that infamous PBS interview. What he really meant was the courts haven't addressed the issue of what YOU must provide the government!

BO can say require. but ultimately schools are under local and state control and funding. So those programs can only be implemented if local people get them included in cirriculum.
A good place for grassroots resistance starts locally.

I learned the term in Solzhenitsyn's Gulag Archipelago. It refers to political prisoners in the Soviet Unions labor camps, who were convicted of the Soviet Penal Code's notorious catch-all "Article 58."
