Parents Upset Over Gym Class Run By Marine Corps Recruiter

Madison, Wisconsin -- The principal … said the school made a mistake in letting a Marine Corps recruiter conduct a physical education class there.

Some … called the move a backdoor effort to recruit students.

… participation was voluntary and about 30 percent of students opted out.

… policy limits military visits to three a year. But guidance counselor David Hoppe, who oversees military visits, said he didn't know about it until afterward.

… high school junior Allysa Roedl, 16, chose not to participate. She said the Marine recruiters had students do exercises such as push-ups, and she said they yelled at students "totally Marine-style."

- Push-ups? Good God almighty, what were they thinking? (How many of those students who "opted out" are obese?) Although Allysa chose not to participate she knows they yelled "totally" Marine-style. Allysa is an expert on total Marine-style because she once saw a rerun of Full Metal Jacket.

- Some parents saw the move a "backdoor effort" at recruiting students. Parents did not feel backdoored when JrROTC programs began expanding across the nation in high schools during the 1990's with approval from school boards and funding from Congress. Oh, I forgot, back then it was a clintonian aid to stop the dropout rates and give students a goal after graduation.

- So let me see … a generation of predominantly poorly schooled and functionally illiterate teens who can date, drive, have sex and babies, view porn, commit crime, do drugs and alcohol easy enough, but they need protection from a Marine recruiter? Must be white kids.

The language and logic of your pithy retort are too intimidating, Allysa. I guess I know my place now, and my new name. But I'll just shorten it down to Stu Bit.
