we might ask what right the state has to demand that kids go to school.

We should be asking that question. It's the corrupt public school system that is brainwashing children en masse to subscribe to looney ideas of "community" and "conflict resolution" and "environmental love" etc. All junk. Parents are the custodians of their children and their education should be determined soley by them.

All invalid analogies.

How so? In each case the government is forcing someone to do something disregarding the free will of the victim. Tossing them a few dirty coins doesn't make something right.

"How so?"

Because each of the things you propose requiring people to do is malum in se.

Military or community service is not.

There is a difference in pushing a little old lady into the path of a speeding bus, and pushing a little old lady out of the path of a speeding bus.

Many parents are asking that question. Home schooling is growing in leaps and bounds.
