Re: [SDCPJ] WE WON! Shooting Ranges to be removed from city high school campuses!!!!!

And - A big thanks to the SDCPJ for supporting (through funds and volunteers) the High School Leafleting Project.  Many of you volunteers have gone out in the mornings to pass out literature to students at their schools for several years.  The peace movement has grown thanks to your work,  it has been an invaluable part of building this movement!

 In a 3-2 vote, the San Diego Unified School District voted tonight (9 p.m.!) to removed JROTC shooting ranges from district high school campuses (see resolution below).  Congratulations and a big Shout Out to the Education Not Arms Coalition which has been fighting this for a year and to the 150 students from Lincoln, Mission Bay and other high schools who were at the school district offices and board meeting today for over 6 hours.   More to follow!


Resolution in the Matter of Eliminating Marksmanship Training From San Diego Unified School District Schools

WHEREAS, the San Diego Unified School District has a zero-tolerance policy on
weapons in schools and seeks, as one of its primary goals, to teach students to resolve conflicts
without resorting to violence; and
 
WHEREAS, the District cannot risk sending a mixed message to students when some of
their lives have been recently taken by gun violence;
 
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that any existing school district property used
for shooting ranges shall be immediately closed for that purpose and converted for other
educational uses by the beginning of the next regular school year.
 
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that marksmanship training, whether it is conducted on-campus
or off-campus, and through textbooks or physical instruction, shall not be taught in
connection with the San Diego Unified School District and shall be discontinued immediately.
