I don't have a problem with tying currently existing federal assistance for higher education to community service in areas of specific need. As far as middle school and high school, if a local board wanted to set it up, okay. Or if it's offered as sort of the old Presidential Physical Fitness Awards program in the area of community service, it's hard to see it doing any real harm or having any really big costs.
But it's not irrational to question exactly what and how.

If this is what were happening, I wouldn't have posted.
Instead, the OP comparing this to "slavery" (in any form) shows an irrational belief in what is really being proposed - even connecting this to the draft is laughable. You really think the
Democrats are the ones looking to institute a draft? Come on. It's fear-mongering and, to a certain extent, race-baiting.
I'm as skeptical as any, in the traditional mold of the Skeptics - questioning is fine, this is not. To put it another way, I'm not enslaved by the "limited" selection at a grocery store if I'm hungry, and to claim otherwise is disingenuous at best.
