How does this relate to Thomas P.M. Barnett, author of The Pentagon's New Map? That's a scheme for extending the LEVIATHAN U.S. military attack force with a permanent global multinational "peacekeeping" force, w collaboration amongst the G-20 nations. The Leviathan will invade and destroy as needed, with quickness, Shock and Awe. Next, millions of civilian peacekeepers will drop in to assist/enforce the march of CORPORATE GLOBALIZATION, which will solve every other problem via "connectivity".

This could be made mandatory as the top tier in a 4-tiered public system as follows: ages 4-7 (elementary), 8-11 (middle), 12-15 (high), and 16-19 (community college). Also, each grade level could be divided into four classes depending on the season the student is born (spring, etc), and graduation would be in the season of one's 20th birthday. There's no failing or dropping out. Professional school (university) would be 2, 4, and 6 years for bachelors, masters (most common), and doctorates.

ALL public universities should be free (including supplies, room, and board) in exchange for service, both as volunteer work (unpaid internships) and a contract to work in the public sector. You would have the choice at enrollment to work domestically or internationally in either civilian or military capacity.

I agree...this is a horrible idea but somehow I think they will go ahead with this anyway regardless of the US Population's disagreement with it...

Yes, Academy students would have a different experience than most college graduates, but they likely will be far LESS isolated than other college students. Requirements for service in the community, study abroad, service internships, etc. will insure that Academy students are actively engaged in the real world. They may not get to enjoy the all-night keg parties and other staples of college life, but they will have much more experience with the needs, experiences, and views of regular people.

If the Public Service Academy were to graduate 50,000 students a year and were the only option for future public servants, then RITMaloney's point might be legitimate. The Academy, however, will only be one of many options that a prospective public servant might pursue. Academy graduates may share similar values -- respect for the Constitution, dedication to the country, etc. -- but hardly similar views. Like other college grads, they will run the gamut politically.

(2 of 2) Furthermore graduates of this Academy are likely to have very similar views. Thus the particular dogma that develops at this Academy will have a disproportionate influence on the administration of government. Our leading Public Servants should be drawn from the vast general college educated population so they may best understand the needs, experiences, and views of the general population. A democracy should not divide its citizenry into casts as if people were a race of ants.
