text: Every individual has the right to make their own decisions. Students' freedoms are being limited by the principal's decision to make participating in extracurricular activities a requirement. There are students who are just simply uninterested in these activities, and do not want to participate in them. It should be our choice, as students, to decide our interest and the activities we take part in. Adults are not forced to work at a specific job, or even forced to go to work at all. Likewise, student's should not be forced to participate in extracurricular activities. We have the complete capability to make decisions for ourselves and we can not allow the principal to take away our freedom of choice. If we allow this one freedom to be taken away, we can only expect to be limited to even more freedoms in the future.
