February 7th 2004 Manual Arts High Los Angeles
The
marketing of
militarism in middle and high schools is not new. The accelerated pace of JROTC programs is.
Low and moderate income students have become primary targets in a de facto
“Poverty Draft”. Groups like United Teacher Los Angeles Human Rights Committee strive to provide
alternative life choices beyond military enlistment.
HRC/UTLA, CAMS' inaugural forum on militarism in our schools presented student organizers, activists and long time counter militarism groups in a panel discussion and workshops.
Event Coverage: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
