JROTC Wants to Invade Hundreds More Schools
JROTC, a high school program to militarize youth in high schools, has already invaded almost 3400 schools. Peacework Magazine has learned that Congress passed a little-noticed measure in the 2009 National Defense Authorization bill to expand the number of JROTC schools to 3700 schools by 2020. To do this, the military will have to open at least 45 new JROTC units per year (Some schools drop the program each year, most often because of low student participation rates. In 2006, for example, Santa Barbara high school dropped its JROTC program due to high costs and low participation rates. Veterans for Peace members helped create a Peace Academy in its place.)

Peacework has also obtained the list of targeted schools.
I've posted a part of the list below (the whole list doesn't fit), after summarizing arguments against JROTC. We need your help to foster nonviolent schools and nonviolent education.
