The problem with news articles is that people overreact and don't actually think first. Student service learning hours are required for U.S. high school students (60 I believe is the minimum), and if you don't serve the hours, you won't graduate. So this guy is proposing that British minors would have to even less work and people are calling it slavery and fascism?

Maryland is the only state I know requiring it and that's slightly different than the 3 months of basic training the Chief of Staff is proposing.

 

Damn, that's terribly ironic. I did SSL hours in Montana anyways and I assumed that the Maryland standard was the norm.
