@uspolitics So does that mean we can kidnap people from Florida, enslave them but teach them a skill, like tending fields, and it's perfectly OK?

If someone did that in Germany, they'd get suspended instantly and have some serious talk with Education Ministry, Principal and State Prosecutor by the end of the week...
