JROTC program ending in San Francisco

So, San Francisco is ending the JROTC program.

Honestly, I never cared for the program personally. But I can see how some would benefit from it. Since the program is voluntary, and learning discipline, leadership and teamwork isn't a bad thing, I don't see eliminating the program as a benefit. Especially since it gave 1600 kids something to do, and the military provided partial funding. I'm not sure where the school district would find funding for alternate programs.

I can see if students stopped attending the program, but this wasn't the case here.

I don't think supporting your country is a bad thing. We should value our troops and hold our leadership accountable for when they make poor choices with regard to how they put our troops in harm's way.

At the same time, the San Francisco School Board is there to make such decisions. Perhaps compelling people to move out of the area to a different school district is a good thing.

*yawn*

Here I am at the "ass crack o' dawn".

The sun is contemplating it's rise. Rush's music kicks off on my iTunes.

I agreed to work the 7am shift. Oy.

Unlike the song on my iTunes, Time is not Standing Still.

I hope everyone has a good day today!
