[SDCPJ] Anti-militarist Web site recently updated

This is to let you know that NEW articles and updated content have recently been posted at http://www.comdsd.org/, the Web site of the San Diego-based Committee Opposed to Militarism and the Draft (COMD).

 

Included in the current update are two articles from the latest issue of COMD's printed newsletter, Draft NOtices:

- "Resistance to ROTC Succeeds at CSU San Marcos," by Linda Pershing, gives details on the successful effort to stop the introduction of ROTC at the Cal State San Marcos campus. Making this victory more significant is the fact that it occurred at a relatively conservative university campus and at a time when ROTC organizing is at a low point nationally.

- "Inadequate High School Courses Pushes Students into the Military," written by recent high school graduate David Morales, explains how limitations in academic choice play a role in tracking students into the military, especially when they come from working-class families and communities of color.

 

To order the complete printed version of Draft NOtices, visit the Web site's Draft NOtices page. In addition to the above three articles, the current printed version includes:

- legislative news that suggests Jr. ROTC could soon be on its way out of California high schools;

- archival photos and article excerpts commemorating the 30th year of Draft NOtices' publication; and

 

- Opt-out forms, in English and Spanish, for high school students to block the release of their contact information to military recruiters this fall.
