I guess Barack Obama didn't get the memo that a war was fought in America and slavery was abolished. From his own website:
Obama will set a goal that all middle and high school students do 50 hours of community service a year. He will develop national guidelines for service- learning and will give schools better tools both to develop programs and to document student experience. Green Job Corps: Obama will create an energy-focused youth jobs program to provide disadvantaged youth with service opportunities weatherizing buildings and getting practical experience in fast-growing career fields.
Don't you love the way they call it "service learning"? Does that somehow change the definition of his plan?
