The bill also includes language for a National Public Service Academy (4 year-college level) set up like the current US Military Academies (ie: Annapolis, West Point, AFAA etc....)

There is rumor that the funding for the Public Service Academy (Acorn University) will be derived from the closing of one or more existing Military Academies.

Mandatory/Required volunteering of 100 hours by all High School and Middle School students.

[Verginius Rufus]

Is that 100 hours total, 100 hours per academic year, or 100 hours per week?

This flies in the face of the 13th amendment and of American traditions of freedom in general (one of the most valuable rights is the right to be left alone), but it will all depend on what five members of the Supreme Court think...so anything is possible.

Obama's goal is to make the US like Cuba under Fidel or Red China under Mao. The New Dealers may have admired Mussolini and Stalin, but even they didn't try to impose mandatory "volunteering" on everyone.
