Gordon Davis

speaking against ROTC

"waste of city's money"
"a recruitment program...depends on uniforms and guns"
weapons violate the zero tolerance policy (of weapons in school)

should learn about the Constitution, human rights

Pentagon pays for half of it...costs the city $200,000, possibly more
"don't go into combat without coming out damaged"
"we should protect our kids against this program"
"life and death decision...being influenced...falsely influenced by the military"
UN Protical on child soldiers: no child under 16 can be recruited. ROTC now wants to go into middle schools.
