I don't mind that states require high school-based community service. Just like I don't mind that states issue speeding tickets.

But I object to FEDERAL GOVERNMENT doing such things.

You should included states. No government has a right to mandate ‘service’.

That’s how you get elementary school kids volunteering for planned parenthood,gay rights, and illegal alien rights groups. It undermines freedom and it undermines the American culture.

Its all bad.

Speeding tickets are given for a violation of a regulation or law. What did law or regulation did the high-school kid violate?

I object to any government entity requiring (in-)voluntary servitude. (Well, ok, I also can't see an alternative to taxes and war-time drafts, but I still don't like them.)
