I recently commented on a New York Times piece detailing criticisms of Junior ROTC programs in high schools. The major revelation from the Times was that some schools required the martial course of instruction or automatically enrolled students in it; only after submitting a change request would a student be allowed out of the program. Majority-minority schools were more likely to adopt universal JROTC, both for the additional funding as well as the added accountability among the student body; activists suggested JROTC engagement was a form of brainwashing.
