Previously, I demonstrated how the national service is based on a philosophy of anti-humanism. The public has not heard of an evaluation report on the effectiveness of the first session. We need a national report such as one produced in a developed nation.
I argued why we need not jail our youth for their conscientious objection to militarism in education. Our youth wants to know what will become of them in a society governed by those who think that education is the process of shoving into their minds a certain form of nationalism.
Our youth wants explanations why military leaders are running their lives in those camps of indoctrination. The parents of these children need to know that what the government is doing is actually wrong - anathema to the meaning of education.
