It's hard to understand where he's coming from. A student without a college offer or enlisting in the military will be forbidden from receiving their high school diploma, therefore making them virtually unemployable? Even if they've met all other criteria for graduation? Does he want to create-- or at least enlarge-- a indefinitely marginalized underclass?
I can't even imagine a wonk as detached from reality as is humanly possible coming up with such a illogical idea. The immediate impact would be a dramatic reduction in already-abysmal graduation rates, or an explosion in students enrolling in community colleges only to immediately drop out. Even if you wanted to force, rather than encourage, people into higher education, the way to do that would be to make it mandatory, not prevent people from graduating from high school.
This doesn't particularly come across as a "right-wing" or "left-wing" idea-- it's just a baffling one.
