c09afcbdc929 | D1B97A55865A | One reason I think community service shouldn't be required is because some students may play sports or be in a club or group and not have any time between school and their extracurricular activity to work in the community. | Claim | Effective |

9e22de957e73 | D251CC495A0E | There could be a ton of people voting for one president, and then there might be less votes for a president who may be even better.
