You know, like more money for schools, or the Referendum we just had here in Colorado, giving Taxpayer money to preschools.
Michelle Malkin posts on San Francisco pulling the JROTC program from City high schools. The San Francisco Chronicle (not exactly the most Centrist paper) and Mayor Gavin Newsome (not the most Centrist person) both expressed their opposition to the decision.
Their position was summed up by a former teacher, Nancy Mancias, who said, "We need to teach a curriculum of peace."
..."We don't want the military ruining our civilian institutions," said Sandra Schwartz of the American Friends Service Committee, an organization actively opposing JROTC nationwide. "In a healthy democracy ... you contain the military. You must contain the military."
