There is already mandatory “volunteering” for high school students in order to graduate, where I live.

It is my understanding that they always did.

Notice how the Wise Latina didn't define the number of hours of unpaid services to meet her requirements. Same line of logic used by those in favor of progressive tax rates to punish the rich. They never, ever state the marginal tax rate they deem sufficient to suit their requirements.

Then I considered the brilliance of my accounting professor in college, a great man who was my instructor for over 30 semester hours in college.

His tests were 100% essay, always five questions, of which at least two, if not three, of the questions would be answered thusly: "based on the information you've given me, I cannot answer your question." That would be followed by an answer discussing the accounting theory embedded in the question. It was not unusual to turn in upwards of ten pages (two for each answer) in the hour allotted to us.

Forty years later, I realize that he aided my cognitive abilities, and greatly developed my BS detector.

Mandatory volunteer work is not volunteer work.

If you’re charged with a crime, do you really want, as your lawyer, someone who’s being forced to take your case as a condition of keeping his law license? Especially if it’s Stanley The Tax Specialist, who’s never worked on a criminal case, never appeared in court on even a civil matter let alone a criminal one, and who hasn’t dealt with criminal law, evidence or courtroom procedure since he crammed for the bar exam in 1988?

Does she have a totalitarian streak in her????

More'n just a streak, I fear.

she swore an oath to the constitution and should be impeached for advocating involuntary servitude in violation of the 13th amendment...
