For many years the military has been PERVERTING PUBLIC SCHOOLS by SUBSTITUTING MILITARY PROPAGANDA instead of honest history courses — and TRAINING STUDENTS TO MARCH AND SHOOT GUNS.
The instructors are military people, NOT certified teachers.
This happens in many, many schools nationwide (especially in low-income and minority neighborhoods) through the Junior ROTC program.
Also, many military instructors in the Junior ROTC program have been caught sexually abusing female students in the JROTC program.
The program also VIOLATES the international Convention on the Rights of the Child.
