I dunno if it was me, but the Obama’s Change website has undergone some fast changes of its own.
When I commented on Friday about the pretty-much-compulsory-looking “national service” plan proposed there, the site said this:
… developing a plan to require 50 hours of community service in middle school and high school and 100 hours of community service in college every year …
It currently says this:
… 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 …
In the minds of our college administrators, that will translate into: “Oh goody! — We can raise tuition by $4,000!” Nice, anyway, to suspect that someone in the Obama machine is reading The Corner.
