So Gerson, looking for a panacea to this individualistic disease, suggests that ‘National service can heal a divided nation.’ Adding to Gerson’s plea, there’s also HuffPo who says ‘That a year of full-time national service should become a civic rite of passage for all young Americans.’ One must ask: Are the government schools not enough anymore?”
