Wouldn't private schools apply too with the voucher system? Or is that only meant to stay on the state level?

Letting private schools operate as a draft dodging system, almost sounds like a feature rather than a bug.

Sounds like a convenient excuse to only do it in public schools from people who don't have their children in public schools.

So why have a selective service registration at all, if all the (non-rich) kids are taking the ASVAB anyway?
The draft pool will exclusively consist of the bottom 95%.

Registering for Selective Service is telling them. Where to find you and how to contact you
There hasn’t been a draft in a lot of years. Given the speed of most modern warfare, I wonder if it’s even useful anymore. The war will be over before you get through boot camp. Then again, there’s Ukraine
