Are they mixing the sexes in these houses? If so, I hope they provide a lot of condoms and plan B.

I don't think the kids would be the issue. It would be the adults who eventually push it into some kind of political partisan issue.


That’s exactly what it’s going to be in france.

After dinner each day, they will debate different social issues. “For example, discrimination based on sexual orientation and disability or radicalisation," said Attal. "On Monday, after the French women’s football match, there will be a discussion of gender equality.”


There it is. The liberal indoctrination.

frick 'compulsory' but not a bad idea if optional with 2 caveats:

1)Limited to life/survival skills and US civics

2)Leave current politics out of it

Would be difficult to enforce that.

If done right, you could also incentivize with a tax credit.

Tbh, high schools and parents should be doing this already, but they're not.

i think its a great idea to force young people to learn discipline and dedicate themselves to something other then radicalism, but will the 40% muslim population living there also be forced into service?????

I think if they opened it up for open enrollment they would have more volunteers than they could ever put through the course. I would have loved something like that as a kid. I had to join the army to get my experience...

This reminds me of Obama's little dipshit army, and is likely similarly ominous.
