The Star Tribune confirms what the blog Dump Bachmann has been reporting for weeks: Rep. Michele Bachmann's son Harrison has joined Teach For America, part of what the Minnesota Republican considers a dreaded government re-education camp program called AmeriCorps.

Back in April, Rep. Bachmann warned of the expansion of the program, designed to get young people involved in community service:

I believe when it's all said and done, this service that -- I believe that there's a very strong chance that we will see that young people will be put into mandatory service. And the real concern 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 and work in some of these politically correct forums. It's very concerning. It appears that there's a philosophical agenda behind all of this, and especially if young people are mandated to go into this.

She added, "As a parent, I would have a very, very difficult time seeing my children do this."

1. Is Community Service A Crime?

What's wrong with that far right nitwit?

If her kid enlisted in the military, would that be a problem as well??

2. "I would have a very, very difficult time seeing my children do this.."

Then you're simply an snobby, elitist twit.

To be fair, I wanted to use another word in lieu of twit but it would have caused the post to be deleted.
