Dave, the slavery comments I read and HEARD were made well after everyone knew he changed the wording. The people who said those words were well aware of the change yet still chose to use the word slavery.
By the way, there are many high schools across the nation that require some form of community service for graduation. Nobody was complaining about that. But suddenly, that’s slavery.
Also, Obama’s call for community service students is NOT the same was what Rahm Emmanuel wrote in his book about civil defense service. Nowhere did I mention anything about that book. This article I wrote is about people who think it is a bad thing for young adults to perform community service. It’s not about Rahm Emmanuel, it’s not about his book, it’s not about civil defense.
And yes, there are people who think community service is a bad thing. They were people I had conversations with before I wrote this article.
