It's 50 hours woven into 13 years of education.
That's 3-4 hours a year, if it's evenly spread.
I don't think it's time to be shouting "fascism" just yet, seeing as this is designed to help improve strength of community - which a) would reduce number of ASBOs, and b) would the opposite of what a fascist state wants.
Plus, it's part of education, so it will be within schooling hours.
