Seems to me like some kind of a suit is in order. Nothing else seems to work with this school board.

Going out on a limb, I would guess that the state or national teachers union would like to see JROTC scrapped for the simple and petty reason that JROTC instructors are not credentialed PE teachers.

Having dealt with and watched this school board for a while I would like to suggest that it could indeed be ideology that is driving this decision. However it could just as likely be:
1. Vindictive payback.
2. Political loyalty to an outside actor, perhaps a national one.
3. Some Union scheme.
4. Incompetence.
5. Evil. This should not be over looked. It is a rule of thumb that ‘the purer the form of evil, the more difficult it is to predict.’

I tend to discount ideology in this case because the board seems driven enough to change tactics. If it were pure ideology they would be dis-oriented by the political response of minority families.

Socialism and communism and Leftist ideology loves the wife beating excuses. If you really love me, you won’t leave me. If you really cared about your job and the company, you’d work overtime without pay.

To the Left, any evil action can be justified so long as it benefits them or their gods.

Actually, what you should do is to strip 50% from the bank accounts of elected officials and un-elected bureaucrats by law. If you keep doing it, eventually they’ll leave on their own free will.

Hey, if they really loved their jobs and wanted to serve and have the perks, they would do it anyways.

Despicable. I know that you and many of your readers are from the Bay Area, but I have to ask; how do you put up with this left wing crap on a daily basis? The people who run the city obviously hate the United States. I say that we should vote the damned city out of the country………..

“If students really love the program, they’ll take it anyway,” said board President Mark Sanchez, who has led opposition to JROTC because of its ties to the military.

If you really love me, you’ll forgive me for beating you.

Yeah, we know how it works. Especially if you talk to someone like me, who have given quite a care to studying subterfuge, manipulation, assassination, and the various cloak and dagger methods and techniques in warfare.

Freshman year in high school, while playing football, I tore the cartilage in a knee and was forbidden to participate in any sport activity, including gym, for a year.
ROTC was the only option open to me. We even had rifles to practice drill with.
