Subject: And this is how it's done ...
Here is an excerpt from today's
announcement from the Corporation for National & Community
Service, the agency that, on December 16, 2009, received $1.149 billion
when Obama signed the Fiscal Year 2010 Consolidated Appropriations Act:
|
Washington, DC—The Corporation for National and Community
Service announces the availability of $650,070 for new Learn
and Serve America School-Based grants to Indian Tribes and U.S.
Territories to involve school-age youth in service-learning
projects that simultaneously support student development and
meet community needs.
"These grants will help put students on a path to a lifetime of
service and civic engagement," said Nicola Goren, Acting CEO
of the Corporation. "Service-learning is a teaching method that
offers students the opportunity to have an immediate impact on
challenges facing their communities."
|
With over $1 billion of unearned taxpayer dollars, the agency dangles
grants in front of various groups and educational institutions, only
asking that they engage in a process of indoctrination of their youth
in exchange for the funds.
Bit by bit our already failing educational system is being transformed
into a community work camp, where students are forced to contribute
their labor while being trained for "a lifetime of service".
Once again I raise the call-to-arms, asking concerned people to vocally
protest this form of further intrusion into our educational system
which is allowing the Obama administration to sneak in their program
for nationwide mandatory service, one student at a time.
