[SDCPJ] Ban JROTC rifle ranges in our schools, Tues., Feb. 10

Please come to the San Diego school board meeting Tues., Feb. 10.

 

Rally outside at 4 pm; board meeting starts at 5 pm.

 

Location: 4100 Normal St. (you can park in the Fellowship parking lot a block north on Park Blvd.). 

 

The following resolution is being introduced by board member John Lee Evans. If we produce a LARGE crowd in support of it, we believe we'll have the votes to pass it.

 

Students have been courageously mobilizing for this. Now they need the rest of us to be there to support their efforts to demilitarize local schools!

 

Resolution in the Matter of Eliminating Marksmanship Training From San Diego Unified School District Schools

WHEREAS, the San Diego Unified School District has a zero-tolerance policy on
weapons in schools and seeks, as one of its primary goals, to teach students to resolve conflicts
without resorting to violence; and

 

WHEREAS, the District cannot risk sending a mixed message to students when some of
their lives have been recently taken by gun violence;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that any existing school district property used
for shooting ranges shall be immediately closed for that purpose and converted for other
educational uses by the beginning of the next regular school year.

 

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that marksmanship training, whether it is conducted oncampus
or off-campus, and through textbooks or physical instruction, shall not be taught in
connection with the San Diego Unified School District and shall be discontinued immediately.
