Should public schools be allowed to force students to perform community service?

Should public schools be allowed to force students to perform community service as a condition of graduation?

I say no. Being for or against community service is a matter of political/philosophical/social values. It seems to me that that having a community service requirement crosses the line between education and forcing students to live according to the views of some teacher or bureaucrat.

I'm interested in hearing other peoples' thoughts on this.
