Your state has implemented a 60-hour service learning component which all students must complete before they will be allowed to graduate from high school. A parent group has protested and has challenged the legality of the requirement in court. If resolution of this case is consistent with other cases involving service learning requirements, which of the following is the most likely outcome?
A) Your state's right to require a service learning component will be upheld in court, based on the argument that curriculum decisions have been placed in the hands of states, and all reasonable curricula can be offered.
B) Your state's right to require a service learning component will be turned down by the courts, arguing that an effective rationale for requiring service learning cannot be made.
C) Your state's right to require a service learning component will be turned down by the courts, arguing that service learning is technically an extracurricular activity, and participation in extracurricular activities cannot be required.
D) Your state's right to require a service learning component will be upheld in court, based on the argument that service learning courses promote citizenship and social responsibility.
