  1.  @mollynash2597  Apparently the JROTC classes teach yet another Alternate History.

  2.  @mollynash2597  Yeah, and I don't think it gives you the Danny Sjursen perspective.

  3.  @stevembouadeu7540  Thank you. People's listening abilities are starting to scare me.

  4. Did you get to choose the class? If someone wanted to withdraw, were they punished?

  5.  @treadstonegaming6574  Then that's excellent. This segment was about coercive tactics.

  6.  @treadstonegaming6574  Not what the video says, as I understood it. If the facts stated are indeed correct, then there were cases of coercion, and there were parents who found out and protested. Let's agree for the sake of argument that those cases are rare. Okay, considering we are talking about a public school, when does that become a problem? Does it have to reach some threshold? I think rare is still too frequent. Schools do a lot of stuff for funding. They push kids into a lot of various schemes that are not in their best interest at all. Maybe just focusing on JROTC does not give a clear picture of the real problem.

  7.  @treadstonegaming6574  I don't know why you're spinning a story to justify it, or to disculpate the school administrators. This is all speculative. We don't know why it happened. Could the remedy be purely local, maybe even confined to a few schools, rather than worthy of national news attention? Of course; in fact. it might have been a slow news day, and some minor reporter went on search for something to be outraged about -- but all that is an empirical question as well.

  8.  @treadstonegaming6574  But you weren't part of programs that used coercive tactics. Maybe when they report, they give the false impression that a limited problem is ubiquitous? I didn't get that impression, but okay. It's not exactly rare when they do!

  9.  @kevintewey1157  Sheesh, where did that come from? He was just concerned that one bad program would give every program a bad name. Maybe his wasn't sicko Social Darwinian?

  10. Do you see obligatory JROTC as a solution?
