Board of Education webcast, Dec 11, 2007

Here is the SFGTV webcast of the December 11 BOE meeting

The big news from the meeting was the 1-year stay of execution for the JROTC program. The extension was not a big surprise since the task force that was supposed to find an alternative replacement program has been unable to do so and had requested the extension. What was unexpected was Commissioner Wynn's move to continue to give PE credit to the JROTC students.

The anti-JROTC activists are predictably upset. That's natural enough. But to my eyes, thee headlines make the opposition look foolish:

Pro-War SF School Board Supports JROTC 5-2
School Board Cowers Behind Phony JROTC "Task Force"

"Pro war" BOE? Only in San Francisco...
