Absolutely not. The school is there to teach my child "readin', writin' and 'rithmatic". Outside of that, there are any number of religious and civic organizations in place to help instill any values that I may deem apropriate. It is the function of the public school system to educate...not indoctrinate.
I also disagree with Willravel's assertion that the only time young people do community service is when the school forces them, they've been arrested, or my personal favorite...they want to sleep with a really hot social liberal. I was very active in the Boy Scouts when I was younger. And while I may have some issue with thier relgious stance today, I got an awful lot out of that organization. Not the least of which was service to the community.
