Thread: Mandatory Volunteerism

    Unhappy Mandatory Volunteerism

    Headline from the December 29, 2008 Columbus (Ohio) Dispatch:

    "Many schools now require more hours of volunteering."

    Sorry, folks. It's not "volunteering" if it's "required."

    To anyone inclined to argue otherwise, we suggest a careful reading of George Orwell's novel 1984 to see where this kind of language abuse can lead you. Pay special attention to the sections on "doublethink."

    I know what you are saying and appreciate the irony, but participating in their schools is voluntary.

    Exactly. Use what Harry Brown calls a "direct alternative". Take your business elsewhere.

    just a step-by-step path to a full draft.

    the next step will be community service to qualify for student loans (already on the dlc website), then summer boot camps/summers of service, and then 2 years full service for college admission. taking your business elsewhere is possible with home schooling so expect that to be a target.

    Public high school tried this ~4 years ago but then retracted the requirement after they were threatened with legal action.

    I had to do some "volunteer work" in high school. (I helped work in the local library) If I knew what I know now, I wouldn't have done it.

    No, its bunchies. Me and HB are members of a grassroots movement to liberate bunchies on rpf. Where have you been? There are many more of us btw.

    There is another couple threads earlier than this, but those get the general idea across. Essentially bunchies was banned by the rpf admin tyranny.

    I look forward to the day when Lincoln's spirit moves through Bunchies and takes the train to become liberated on the day of change.

    This, my friends, is what I live for.

    the Bunchies movement makes me laugh.

    Mandatory Volunteerism does not.

    Volunteering has two meanings

    1. (traditional) a person freely chooses to do something with no reward or threat
    2. a person does work with no money in return.
