San Francisco kicking JROTC out of high schools

[BoilerUP]

They don't like the "don't ask, don't tell" policy so they are taking it out on high school kids who enroll in JROTC of their own free will. Discuss...

It's San Fransisco and their all out of their dang minds. Are you surprised?

Edit: I didn't say "dang"

Interesting that a board ousting JROTC because of discrimination is discriminating itself. Those who call themselves open-minded tend to be the most closed-minded people I know.

I just love this statement:

"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."

But I will support them when they protect my freedom to say whatever pops into my pea brain??!!

 

[SpauldingSmails]

Yeah, what a shock. Friggen lefty weiner-heads... I agree with Bigoober. They're "open-minded" as long as you agree with whatever they say.

I'm just glad the gays are enchancing the civilian institutions (and military). What is right is wrong and what is wrong is right.

Maybe they're just hoping the jihadists will kill them last....

It is time for the military to pull ALL money out of San Francisco. No Fleet Week, No Air Shows, NO MORE FEDERAL AID!!!
Once they city gets a taste of the lost revenues........

Nothing the idiots in San Francisco do surprises me anymore. It's amazing the lengths we're supposed to go to avoid offending such a minute part of the population. But, this is the type of crap the American people have asked for. The outcry would be ten times as loud if anyone tried to ban them from speaking or assembling, but somehow they feel justified in denying access to the military. There has to be some kind of federal reprisal.

On the other hand, incidents like this http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/story?id=2626032&page=1 DO NOT help the case of the military. It only adds fuel to an already growing fire. This kind of crap has to end.

Now that's a great idea! Fleet Week is pretty huge, and a tradition. Imagine the political fallout if the Pentagon said "we don't want to play" anymore. Maybe the revenue isn't that big,... I don't know,... but it would sure send a shot across the bow.

For some reason I want to send that American friends skank that poster that goes like:

"YOU, STFU"
"WE'LL DEFEND AMERICA"
"GET OUT OF OUR WAY LIBERAL PU$$IE$"

I for one would not shed a tear if the Jihadist or the People's Liberation Army Of Ejaculation wiped out Berkley and all those home grown Terrorists. Remember the city of Berkley passed a law that give the police department the right to shoot down any U.S Space base weapon system that overflys Berkley Airspace! and these are the same idiots that passed a bill to Impeach President Bush.

South Park said it best about the People of San Fransico " They are all so full of them selfs they smell there own Farts"

The school board said they cant afford to have the JROTC on there campus but they can afford to have the Queer club for 15 year olds. They went on to say that a high school teenager can't make up his/her mind about the military and feel that the military is corrupting there young minds.
However, a Homosexual club where it maybe the cool new hip thing in school wont corrupt there young minds. I've said it before and I'll say it again the ACLU is a Domestic Terrorist Organization!

Ok, whether you are left or right really is not the issue here. If they want JRROTC gone, then guess what, so goes your federal funding in the city. Unfortunatley, I believe the majority of folks in SF really haven’t cast their voice and would support JRROTC. It is a good program that a true liberal at heart would agree with. This is the irrational left wing voiceat work. Where are you Bill O'Reilly??

 

[HA25]

SF the home of the leftist, commie, feminist, gay agenda... are you surprised?

 

[USARET]

...you contain the military. You must contain the military."

How about we contain the Gay/liberal agenda.

 

[Metro752]

They cannot get rid of JROTC unless they can run their schools without Federal funding.

 

[RoundMotor]

You have got to be ********************ing kidding me. Lureing people to join the military. What a bunch on communist liberal horse ********************.

To the whom it may concern If you find this offensive then so be it. I am not into PC and I dont care about your feelings.

From what I remember from the recent news...Proposed new "Speaker of the House" Nancy Pelosi represents those San Francisco "citizens". Won't it be interesting to see what she does to keep federal money flowing to the school systems there. Will she stand up and enforce established US law? Or will she backdoor some funding buried deep in some legislation to keep her voters happy? Be a good one for some watchdog group to put on their list and document as it goes...

Every kid deserves the right to choose whether or not the military is good for them. I don't remember really having much of a clue on what I wanted when I was in High School. If the JROTC (and for that matter ROTC in the colleges) isn't available, then there's no opportunity for anyone to have any type of decision. Then, based on what is seemingly correct these days, you go with "shotgun diplomacy" and blast away everything that a child might get into. Delete all education except for things like math, english, history and spanish (gotta be able to read half the signs in America and understand some of the TV shows ya know). In the future we'll all have a nice, compatible civilization that can vote for nice, compatible political candidates...and all will be well...we think...maybe...or not.

One of the only reasons I plugged my nose, and voted R this past election. Personally I don't care for GW and Co, but it's the lesser of evils.
