TTSR “Forced To Volunteer”

The proverbial Left is always coming out with new ideas and agendas for public ‘Improvement,’ with their own private gain in mind, as the California Governor Gray Davis has proposed to make community services a requirement to graduating from state colleges and universities (my previous post  ‘“Public Service” -- Or Disservice?’ addresses this topic as well).

California’s number one liberal newspaper jumped at this opportunity, supporting it 100% saying “What could be wrong with teaching students, as the governor puts it, that ‘a service ethic…[has] lasting value in California?” and that this requirement “could reap a valuable return in a new generation of civically minded citizens.”

Forget the ‘good’ it would do for the community, there are already 90 million people volunteering for state projects of their own free will, the heart of the matter is turning students into obedient followers that will not second guess the government, will not question their orders to ‘volunteer’, and will have almost completely lost the ability to freely think through what the government has told them is the right.
