Curses, foiled again... JROTC survives

JROTC survived a sneak attack last night, as an attempt to strip PE credit from the program failed to attrack a BOE majority. The vote on the measure broke as follows:
In favorOpposed
Norman YeeHydra Mendoza
Mark SanchezJill Wynns
Eric MarKim-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 really wish they would stop trying to cut this program. I loved it for the one year I was in it. I just completed my first year at UC Davis and still have no intentions of joining the army as well!
