bachmannU.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann says she fears the Obama administration will create âre-education camps for young people, where young people have to go and get trained in a philosophy that the government puts forward and then they have to go to work in some of these politically correct forums.â Audio after the jump.
Hereâs what Bachmann said on Minnesota radio station KTLK-AM (podcast) this weekend (in reference to The Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act, a proposed expansion of the AmeriCorps program that Obama may sign into law this week):
"Itâs under the guise of â quote â volunteerism. But itâs not volunteers at all. Itâs paying people to do work on behalf of government. â¦
I believe that there is a very strong chance that we will see that young people will be put into mandatory service. And the real concerns is that there are provisions for what I would call re-education camps for young people, where young people have to go and get trained in a philosophy that the government puts forward and then they have to go to work in some of these politically correct forums."
