He said he wants to set goals for students to perform a minimum number of hours in community service and make federal funding “conditional” - meaning federal funding will be either denied or reduced if a school does not set up these community service programs.

Of course, schools will go along with the plan in return for the federal funds. And, if these community service programs have goals attached, then the schools will require each student to do his share.

I imagine most people embracing this plan. The question is, where will it lead?

So many people have no appreciation for freedom—what it means and the responsibilities that go with it.
