They have this crap at our local high school. Had one of my boys almost not graduate cause he hadn’t done his “service”.

This is fine for kids who have the time, but what about kids who have to work to help save for college or to help out their families??

Will kids in those situations be excused??

Exactly. What about kids from low income families with after school jobs to help make the family's ends meet? Will they be conscripted into unpaid federal service? How does that help working families?
