As reported here, about 100 protesters angry about military recruiters coming to their schools, marched on several recruiting offices this past Monday, demanding that recruiters stop coming to their schools.
As the protesters arrived at the recruiting offices, they began to harangue the recruiters using bullhorns, chanting slogans, and also forced their way into some of the offices - and were then promptly "ushered" back out. Kudos to Sgt. 1st Class Jessica Hicks for doing the "ushering"!
At one of our local high schools, the left leaning PTSA passed a resolution to ban all military recruiters from that high school, which is a violation of the 1st Amendment Free Speech clause. This is very ironic to me, in that, the US military's main job is to protect our freedoms - including the ability to speak freely - and yet, the local PTSA wants to deny the recruiters freedom of speech by denying them access to the school, which is oh so typical of the Left.
Also in the article, a 17 year old student from one of the local high schools was quoted as saying, "I don't want to go to war. I don't want to die, I want to learn." While I can understand the youngsters desire to live, and learn, I have news for him - it's rather easy for you to not go to war and possibly die, dude. Don't join the all volunteer military. The same military, by the way, that is doing what it is supposed to do - protecting your freedom of speech, and enabling you to make choices for your own life.
