When I was in High school and actually being forced to do community service (only 10 hours) I would've said no, absolutely not.
But now that I've grown (and matured) I don't see how anyone can think that community service is a bad thing. I've been forced to do it since (court-ordered) and I've seen just how badly some people have it. I don't think there's anything wrong with requiring students to do it.
And this rhetoric about socialism and "slavery" is fucking ridiculous. We require students to attend school until 16 (in most states), is that slavery too? Don't you think that these policies were enacted because they benefit the greater good at the MINOR cost of "forcing" children to be educated?
Or do you also oppose mandatory education? If you do, then I don't see how you can continue to have a rational discussion, as you clearly aren't.
