JROTC survives progressive attempt to kill it

Curses, foiled again... JROTC survives
JROTC survived a sneak attack last night, as an attempt to strip PE credit from the program failed to attract a BOE majority. The vote on the measure broke as follows:
In favor: Norman Yee, Mark Sanchez, Eric Mar
Opposed: Hydra Mendoza, Jill Wynns, Kim-Shree Maufas
Commissioner Jane Kim, a co-sponsor of the resolution, had the good sense to be absent. In spite of the barely legal, minimal 24-hour notice of the meeting, JROTC proponents mobilized and attended the meeting. Why was the meeting called with such short notice? "We would not want us to get into a predicament of getting sued." Principals needed enough time to plan before they left on vacation. So instead of subjecting this proposal to the normal committee review and public scrutiny, they tried to kill the program while no one was looking. Thanks Commissioner Kim for not being a party to this odious maneuver.

I don't agree with you on one subject but I i do find myself agreeing with you on some others from time to time, and this is one.
Congratulations Jerry. You're showing real progress. Why do you think city progressives want to get rid of JROTC? Because their ideology requires that they see US military activity, however attenuated, as immoral. They want the US to lose in Iraq and in Afghanistan for the same reason they want to eliminate JROTC.
