In November of 2006, I posted on the San Francisco school boardโs banning of the Junior ROTC program (JROTC) from the cityโs high schools. Following up on that post, I have a beg and a bleg. First, I am begging staffers to our current crop of Republican presidential candidates to read that old Corner postโabove all, the final paragraph. Second, I am blegging Corner readers to tell me about any other incidents they may know of like the one in San Francisco. If you know of any cases where a city, county, school board, or some independent pressure group have banned, or attempted to ban, the JROTC from high schools, please write me about it. And while weโre at it, have a look at this 2001 piece by Derb, making the case for the JROTC.
