JROTC
You think that is bad. Most of our local High Schools have dropped the ROTC programs altogether, including the air rifle! We fight to reach new shooters, teach the basics and hope someone will enjoy the sport.
We started 4-H shooting sports seven or eight years ago. The group has grown, but not as fast as I would like. The entire state seems to be against teaching shooting sports to those under 18 years of age, including the legislative body. The state of California would rather no one own a firearm it seems. Maybe they need to read the second amendment.

[ "But there's been a change, and the old, reliable issues may not play any more. For starters, the parents are up in arms. On Monday, JROTC supporters delivered 13,600 signatures (they needed 7,200 from registered city voters) to City Hall to get a nonbinding resolution on the November ballot to show support for JROTC."]
I'm happy to respond with a bit of good news. Not everyone in SF is happy with the School Board's decision to drop the PE credit for JROTC. This blurb from the San Francisco Chroncile shows parents upset over the board's decision have gotten this issue listd on the November ballot so taht voters can decide.

San Francisco to Consider Decriminalizing Prostitution
Anybody wanna buy this city cheap .... China .... Iran ..... France?????SAN FRANCISCO — A measure that aims to keep prostitutes from facing criminal charges has qualified for the November ballot in San Francisco.
The measure, which qualified Friday, would bar authorities from spending money to investigate or prosecute prostitutes for engaging in prostitution.
A San Francisco first-time offender program that allows men to avoid charges for soliciting a prostitute if they attend a class and pay a fine would also end under the measure.
The Erotic Service Providers Union recently announced it had gathered the 12,000 signatures necessary to put the measure on the ballot after failing to get a similar initiative before voters in 2006.

JROTC
Wow SF is messed up.
I am in JROTC and i have learned more things i can use in any proffesion than any othe hs class i ma taking the only ppl that whant to do away with the program are the morons that burned ROTCs during Vietnam. refusing PE credits to cadets would make it almost impossible to graduate on time.
I'm glad i come frome an area where every one knows something about ROTCs both junior and senior. Heck When the school cut our funding by75% hell broke lose in our school district. Some one needs to but a boot to the superentendant of schools in SF
