Since I wrote this, the Office of the President-Elect, whatever that is, has ordered changes on Change.gov. Instead of saying the plan requires service, the “plan” is now to set a goal:
setting a goal that all middle school and high school students do 50 hours of community service a year and by developing a plan so that all college students who conduct 100 hours of community service receive a universal and fully refundable tax credit ensuring that the first $4,000 of their college education is completely free.
Right. I’m sure this is set in stone also.

This is a whole new level of disturbing. Imagine what the left would be saying if Bush came up with a plan to force civilians into a program like this.
