Amerika het nieuwe NAZI domein

Elke dag zet het Bush regime een stap verder in de lijn van
Hitler Duitsland.

Military programs are moving into middle schools to fish for
future soldiers, training students as young as 11 to march in
formation and carry weapons.


Tarsha Moore stands as tall as her 4-foot 8-inch frame will
allow. Staring straight ahead, she yells out an order to a
squad of peers lined up in three perfect columns next to her.
Having been in the military program for six years, Tarsha has
earned the rank of captain and is in charge of the 28 boys and
girls in her squad. This is Lavizzo Elementary School. Tarsha
is 14.

The Middle School Cadet Corps (MSCC) program at the K-8 school
is part of a growing trend to militarize middle schools.
Students at Lavizzo are among the more than 850 Chicago
students who have enlisted in one of the city's 26 MSCC
programs. At Madero Middle School, the MSCC has evolved into a
full-time military academy for kids 11 to 14 years old.

Chicago public schools are home to the largest Junior Reserve
Officers' Training Corps (JROTC) program, which oversees the
MSCC, in the country. When moving up to high school, Chicago's
graduating eighth-graders can choose from 45 JROTC programs,
including three full-time Army military academies, five
"school-within-a-school" Army JROTC academies and one JROTC
Naval academy.

Proponents of the programs tout leadership training and
character development. But critics quote former Defense
Secretary Gen. William Cohen, who described JROTC as "one of
the best recruiting services that we could have." Rick Mills,
the director of Military Schools and JROTC for the Chicago
Public School system, dismisses these concerns. "These kinds
of programs would not be in schools if there weren't kids who
wanted it, parents who supported it and administrators who
facilitated it," he says.

The elementary school cadet corps is a voluntary after-school
program that meets two or three times a week. Programs differ
from school to school, but MSCC students generally learn
first-aid, civics, "citizenship" and character development.
They also learn military history and take field trips to local
military bases. Once a week, students wear their uniforms to
school for inspections. Tarsha describes buffing her uniform
shoes in preparation for inspection days. "Everything has to
be perfect," she says. During drill practices they learn how
to stand, turn and salute in synchronization. When they
disobey an order, they do pushups. "Only 10," says one
administrator.

Joanne Young, a sixth-grade teacher at Goethe School in
Chicago, recently wrote a letter to the local school council
protesting the implementation of the cadet corps in her
school. "I was told that it is not a military program, yet
every aspect of it is military," she wrote. "This program is
training our students, as young as 11-years old, to march in
formation and carry guns. ... Students could be suspended for
bringing something that appears to be a weapon to our school,
yet we are handing them fake guns for this program." Young,
like many other teachers, feels that leadership and discipline
could easily be taught in other types of after-school
programs.

Het licht is al uitgevonden en de verlichting is ook
al een paar jaren een feit, maar dat schijnt je zowat
ontgaan te zijn. Het fascisme tiert welig in
Antwerpen, en niet door het VB, maar ook dat is je
alweer ontgaan.

Stop eens met je Bush Bashing, en begin voor je eigen
deur te vegen. Het is hier allemaal veel erger dan in
de States.

Ja, maar de systematische huiszoekingen zijn wel nieuw
en een beetje tegen de vod, euh wet.
