I would rather see my kids volunteer to do things like go on mission trips and become active in our Church, not be forced to “volunteer” to do who knows what and get indoctrinated in the process. I seriously doubt that doing God’s work and actually helping people with their spiritual as well as their physical needs will count as “community service” in the lib’s minds, however.
If the goverment forces people to volunteer, then the lessons learned from volunteering would be lost.
People who volunteer do it, for the most part, because they want to better the lives of others and in doing so makes thier own life better.
Forcing kids to volunteer would be like making them eat thier veggies. It may be good for them but they will resent you forcing them and wont touch them when they are adults.
