I'm going to take that assertion at face value--I have no evidence against it despite how inaccurate it sounds to me and how many anecdotes I have against it. I suspect you have only anecdotal evidence for it, either, though.
Even so: your objection to community service requirements in public schools is based entirely on worst-case what-ifs. In order for your little "my school requires them to skin animals" analogy to work, you'd have to be actively opposed to the notion of community service. I don't THINK that's what you're saying, I just don't think you thought that analogy through particularly well.
I also note that we're STILL talking in the abstract. Can ANYONE say ANYTHING about how schools are actually handling this? Because otherwise, I'll start a thread about whether public schools should be allowed to force our children to recite Dr. Seuss while standing on footstools and wearing textbooks as hats.
