text: People are free to choose to do what they want, and everyone has that freedom. Making participation mandatory for extracurricular activities is impeding on the students right to choose for themselves. They learn in their classes that everyone has their rights, and taking them away is very unconstitutional, so it's ironic that their ability to have a choice is taken away from them. They don't have the freedom to choose if they want to participate anymore, which is unfair.
