mai ka ʻO AlterNet
Ma ka pō Poʻapoʻi, ua aʻoʻo Pat Elder i kāna papa hana GED maʻamau ma ke Kula kiʻekiʻeʻo Hills Hills ma Maryland. I ka Pōʻakolu kakahiaka, ua alaʻo ia i ka lono e lilo ana kona hale i kahua o kekahi pā kula'ē aʻe; ma mua o 8am, he kāne kāne kāne me ka lima lima i puhi i ke ahi, e hōʻeha iʻelua mau haumāna'ōpiopio a me ke ahiʻana i nā ahi me nā mākaʻi ma mua o ka'ōleloʻiaʻana he make.
Ua pīhoihoi ʻo Elder. Ma ke ʻano he alakaʻi o ka National Coalition to Protect Student Privacy, kahi hui e hakakā ana i ka militarism i ke aʻo ʻana, ʻo ka mea weliweli i hōʻike ʻia o kahi paio āna e hana nei no nā makahiki he nui: ʻO nā papahana 'Training Corps (JROTC), ʻaʻohe wahi i nā kula.
"Hoʻonohonoho ʻia mākou e hoʻouna i nā leka uila he 150,000 i ka hoʻomaka o kēia pule aʻe," i ʻōlelo ʻo Elder iā AlterNet. Hoʻohanohano ka hui pū me nā hui he nui World Beyond War, Code Pink, nā kūpuna no ka maluhia, Ma ka Honua Honua, a me ka hōʻoki ʻana i ka hōʻiliʻili ʻana i nā keiki. "He kū hoʻokahi ka palapala noi," i ʻōlelo ʻo ia, "no ka mea ʻaʻole ia i lawelala i ka ʻahaʻāina pekelala, ʻaʻole i ka ʻahaʻōlelo, akā e kia ʻia nā luna kānāwai o ka mokuʻāina. ʻO ka mea a mākou e hoʻāʻo nei e hoʻāʻo nei e pani i nā pae kī ʻana i nā kula kiʻekiʻe lehulehu. ”
ʻO ka pahuhopu nui loa e hoʻololi i ke kānāwai, ua'ōleloʻo Elder:
"Ke kālele nei mākou i nā luna kānāwai kūloko o ka mokuʻāina i mea e hana ai pēlā. ʻO ko mākou manaʻolana hiki paha iā mākou ke loaʻa i kahi kānāwai i hoʻolauna ʻia ma ka liʻiliʻi he hapalua kakini hale mokuʻāina ma mua o ka lōʻihi. Manaʻo wau ʻo ka United States Military Entrance Processing Command, ʻo ia ka lālā hōʻuluʻulu o ka pūʻali koa, ke manaʻo nei e kau i nā manamana lima ʻōpio e like me ka nui o nā mea e hoʻouluulu ai, ma ke ʻano he maʻa a he maoli paha.
Manaʻo ʻo JROTC, he ʻāpana ia o kēlā hoʻouluulu ʻana. Aia ma kahi o 3,800 polokalamu JROTC ma nā kula ʻAmelika, e like me ka ʻōlelo a Elder, he 2,000 o lākou i loaʻa nā polokalamu māka ma lalo o ka malu o ka Polokalamu Marksmanship Kivila. ʻO ka papahana, ʻōlelo ʻo Elder, "he waiwai kāna i ʻoi aku i ko ka NRA. ʻO ka Polokalamu Marksmanship Sivila ka mea i loko o nā kula aupuni. He mea nele ia no ka NRA, a me nā senators ʻo Lautenberg lāua ʻo Simon i ka makahiki 1996, i ka wā i hana ʻia ai ka Polokalamu Marksmanship Sivila i ʻāpana i ʻae ʻia e ka ʻaha kanaka pilikino, kapa ʻia he boondoggle a me kahi makana i ka NRA i nā kula aupuni.
ʻO nā papahana, e aʻo aku nei i nā haumāna i ke kī ʻana i nā mea kaua, ua kau ʻia ma ka Hema. "ʻOi aku paha ʻo Alabama, ʻoi aku paha ma mua o, e ʻōlelo, aia ma Rhode ʻAilana kēia mau ʻano papahana ma nā kula lehulehu. ʻEkolu mau manawa o ka hoʻoili kaua pūʻali koa ma Georgia ma Connecticut, a no laila aia kekahi mau wahi kahi i hoʻokumu ʻia ai ka militarism ma ke ʻano he ʻāpana o ka moʻomeheu o ke kaiāulu. "
No Great Hills, ua wehewehe ʻo Elder he conservative a liberal enclaves ʻo Maryland, akā, "Aia ʻo ke kula kiʻekiʻe ʻo Great Mills ma kahi ʻulaʻula. Aia ia i loko o ʻelua mile o ka Patuxent River Naval Air Test Center, kahi hale moku kahi e like me ka nui o ka Pentagon. Nui loa ia. ”
Ma ke ʻano he ʻaoʻao o ka paukū noi, makemake ʻo Elder e hoʻomaopopo i nā mākua i kahi ʻāpana ʻoi loa o ka pilina ma waena o nā kula a me ka pūʻali koa. ʻOiai ʻaʻole kā lākou keiki i nā papahana kaha kaha, e hoʻoili ʻia paha kā lākou ʻikepili i nā pūʻali koa. Komo i loko o kēlā me kēia haumāna kūleʻa i ke kānāwai (ESSA), kahi pōhaku kihi o ka kulekele hoʻonaʻauao aupuni, he lula i ʻōlelo ʻia, "inā noi kahi pūʻali koa i ka inoa, ka helu wahi, a me nā helu kelepona o nā haumāna i kekahi kula kiʻekiʻe, a laila kēia kula kiʻekiʻe. Pono e hāʻawi aku, akā na ke kula kiʻekiʻe e haʻi i nā mākua he kuleana ko lākou e haʻalele. "
ʻO ka pilikia, hoʻomau ʻo Elder, ʻo kēia kānāwai “ʻaʻole i ʻōlelo kikoʻī pehea ka heck e manaʻo ʻia ai e hana, no laila ʻaʻole hana nui ka hapa nui o nā kula. Kau paha lākou i kekahi mea i loko o ka puke puke haumāna, kanu ʻia ma ka ʻaoʻao 36, a i ʻole kanu ʻia ia ma ka pūnaewele, akā ʻaʻole ʻike ka hapa nui o nā mākua. "
E ola ana ka palapala noi ma ka lā Malaki 24, ma hope o Malaki no ko mākou mau ola ma ke kākoʻoʻana i ka mana pū. E kākau i ka palapala noi ma ka ʻO ke kūkuluʻana o kaʻahahui aupuni no ka paleʻana i ka pilina o nā haumāna a World Beyond War pūnaewele puni honua.
