how is that a false choice? If I wanted to go to a service academy and they told me that I needed to go to PT every morning, but I went through a spell where I felt like not going, didn't I know going in that this was required of me?

That being said, I can't imagine the definition of activity is every Sunday all three hours to be eligible for ecclesiastical endorsement. If some students are struggling with their faith, no worries, but that doesn't preclude you from just being lazy. Go to sacrament meeting, absorb some of the Good Word, and go home. How difficult is that?
