<p>Why is it that the federal government is cracking down on unpaid internship’s as exploitive and unfair to poorer kids, but everybody is okay with the mandated “community service” hours. Where are the minimum wage police? Is it really promoting volunteerism if you have to do it to get into college? What is wrong with being “passionate” about wanting to get into one’s first choice college? Is anyone going to turn down the “cure for cancer” because the prodigy didn’t really care about cancer, but only found the cure to impress the college admissions board. “Sorry, the poor kids in Jakarta are going to go barefoot because they found out that Johnny, who collected 1000 pairs of shoes in Ohio didn’t really care baout the kids’ feet, he only wanted to get into Dartmouth.”</p>
