Guest Editorial: JROTC and the Left in San FranciscoMichael Bernickbyline‚ Oct. 02‚ 2008I became involved with JROTC as director of the state employment department, the Employment Development Department, under Governor Gray Davis. JROTC proved to be an outstanding pre-employment and life skills program. My son William participated in JROTC at Washington High. In this piece, I don’t want to address the reasons to support JROTC (Proposition V) or the San Franciscans who are supporting it. You can find this information on our website. Instead, I want to focus on three issues that have been raised most often by people on the left in San Francisco. We are actively seeking to build on the support we’ve already received from the Democratic left, especially support from the women’s community. |
