<p>It was stated from one of the senior school board member “that the military’s pro-war and anti-gay policies have no place in San Francisco district”. One anti-JROTC protestor stated that “many people were threatened to be beat up by JROTC students”. I feel so bad for the kids that will loss this great program, which has transformed many kids to the right path.
Though JROTC is banned from San Francisco, there are currently 300 schools waiting to establish a JROTC prgram. The funds from San Francisco will be diverted to the 300 schools across our nation.
I personally don’t live in that city or am a JROTC member, but I’m in a similar program called the Sea Cadets. The sea cadets have taught me alot and let me see and do things that I never dreamed of. I personally think the city is going to lose a great opportunity to transform young people to successful citizens, the soul purpose of the JROTC program</p>
