Hmmm, the word Compulsory frightens me!
The Obama Administration will call on Americans to serve in order to meet the nation’s challenges. President-Elect 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.

Hire some geezers like me to help run this sort of thing, and there would be no telling how we might teach those young folks about conservation and greenstuff. Like maybe we would try to get them to count, to read, and to understand the Bill of Rights. It’s awful hard to push around geezers and make them politically correct, you know.
