1. As far as calling required community service "hazing"... that's almost laughable. It fits just fine into Sigma Nu's hazing policy which I'm pretty sure is about the same with other NIC organizations.

As long as we don't make them do it at strange hours and it doesn't interfere with scholastics there isn't a problem.

2. If a public school wants to alter its curriculum then that is up to the individual school. Here in Oklahoma it's a decision made by the school board.

Fact: The school/school board sets the curriculum, NOT THE PARENTS, NOT THE STUDENTS...

I thought having to take 3 years of math going into a non mathmatical major in college was unfair also. The school didn't seem to care.

I think the requirment is a great way to broaden kids horizons and applaud the administrators. I was required to do 100 hours of community service for graduation and I actually enjoyed it.
