Kalshion Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 Throw your prejudice and bias away on this story people, because this IS a direct insult to our military. quote: Thursday, November 16, 2006 By Bill O'Reilly Fox News Tuesday night by a vote of 4-2, the San Francisco Board of Ed banned Junior ROTC training in seven city high schools, throwing 1,600 students out of those clubs. This is a direct insult to the U.S. military and violates the civil rights, I believe, of the ROTC students. The federal government should immediately suspend all federal aid to San Francisco schools. SF Values Front and Center Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolferz Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 Kal, If you knew how Uncle sam treats reserve soldiers, you would be all for cutting out anything that has a direct bearing on the reserves and thier recruiting. Which is kind of ironic considering the fact that it was mainly the "Minutemen" who fought and died to gain this country's independence. The Minutemen are still fighting and dieing, yet the Pentagon sees no reason to provide these soldiers with the same benefits and respect afforded to those in full time active service. The reserves are made up of Joe citizen but, in the eyes of our military, they are second class citizens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest $iLk Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 ROTC teaches you to be a responsible citizen, it teaches you to be a good person, it teaches you the values of teamwork, and it is far better than other 'clubs' that San Francisco has to offer. I would wager that this same city council would vote to fund out of the city coffers clubs which promoted premarital gay sex and drug use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Lindsey Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 http://www.goarmy.com/rotc Looks like ROTC teaches you to become an army man. The side benefits you pushed to the forefront don't seem to be the major goal of the ROTC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ROTC referenced in the story is High School Junior ROTC - which does not require you to join the military. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
