ACORN -- Gentle Teacher for Tomorrow's Leaders

Think ACORN is all about voter fraud and tax evasion? Well, it just ain't so. They also have their own high schools -- two of them, as a matter of fact.

ACORN High School and ACORN High School for Social Justice, both in New York City, bear their benefactors' name.
What would requirements from a high school like that be? Reading, writing, science, math? Why, no, silly. Community organizing!

Each student must complete 50 ASCP [ACORN Community Service Program] points per year with a total of 200 ASCP points by the end of the Senior year.

Students who volunteer at: an event activity (walk-athon etc); a Community Center that the school is affiliated with; or similar related program outside the school will receive 1 ASCP point for every hour of service.

Students who volunteer with in [sic] the school or babysitting will receive .5 ASCP point for every hour of service.

Adjusted ASCP Points REQUIREMENTS

Seniors 12 ASCP points – by June 1, 2009

Juniors 62 ASCP points – by June 1, 2010

Sophomores 112 ASCP points – by June 1 2011

Freshmen 162 ASCP points – by June 1, 20012

  1. Why am I not surprised? This dangerous group exists on our tax dollars! I am outraged!! Now we find Obama's White House has their tentacles into the National Endowment for the Arts. Heads need to roll. Great work on your great blog!
