Some wise Freeper once said that conscripting children into political activism is a hallmark of totalitarianism.

Glad to see this posted in its own link. I had tucked it in under this other thread here:

but didn't know if it was worth it's own thread.

This was only a matter of time......

Next thing, they'll be giving community service for vandalizing cars (ELF) or pouring red paint on fur wearers (PETA).

Community service credits toward graduation?

No wonder kids can't spell, construct a simple sentence, read passed a second grade level, or do basic math. Schools are too busy teaching them to be activists.

They should also get credit for protesting abortion clinics. Somehow, I don't think that will happen.
