[Marxism] JROTC IN SAN FRANCISCO SCHOOLS!

[Bonnie Weinstein <giobon@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

JROTC IN SAN FRANCISCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS:
The issue of JROTC in S.F. public schools will be addressed
at the San Francisco Board of Education
Budget and Business Services Meeting:
Wednesday, October 18, 2006, 7:00 P.M.
And a vote is scheduled to be taken on a resolution to phase out
JROTC at the regular Board Meeting on:
Tuesday, November 14th, 7:00 P.M.
555 Franklin Street, 1st Floor
San Francisco, CA 94102
415/241-6427

Please organize as many people as possible to come and speak
at these meetings--everyone opposed to the military presence
in our schools should mobilize. Nationwide, over 45 percent
of JROTC cadets eventually end up in some branch of the
Military. That is why the Pentagon puts hundreds of millions
of dollars in their coffers. JROTC teachers are child abusers
who knowingly brainwash our children. We want our
children to learn how to live a healthy and productive
life--not to learn how to obey orders and kill on command!

We especially encourage other students to
come prepared to reach out to the students in JROTC who
will be organized to be there in force. We need to convince
these students that there are healthy alternatives to military
discipline and training. We need to convince these students
that we are for them, not against them; that war is not the
answer; and that there are other, peaceful, non-military
ways build character and solve disputes.
