SF School Board Supports Nazi USA's JROTC; SF Bd of Supes Supports Bus Fare Increases

The warmongering election frauding Democratic Party machine of San Francisco is certainly a worthy heir of the legacy of Nazi Germany, which also put guns before butter, and promoted the militarization of the school system. Democrats voted 5-4 to retain JROTC in the San Francisco public schools at a cost of $1 million a year to the taxpayers,and Democrats voted 6-5 to table the motion to reject the MTA budget.

On July 1, regular bus fares will be $2; seniors, disabled & youth will pay $.75; regular Fast Pass is $55 and $60 on January 1 and $10 extra if you use your Fast Pass on BART; extra $15 for discounted pass and an extra $5 for the discounted pass in May 2010; lifeline pass for the poor decreases from $35 to $30.

Board of Education members Jane Kim, Kim-Shree Maufas and Sandra Fewer voted against JROTC.

Supervisors David Campos, John Avalos, Eric Mar, Ross Mirkarimi and Chris Daly voted against rejecting the MTA budget.

Only Kim on the School Board and Mirkarimi on the Board of Supervisors are Green; the rest are Democrats

The San Francisco public schools, like the entire nation's public schools, are the laughing stock of the industrialized world. A country that puts guns before butter cannot possibly pay for education. Nazi USA is now and has always been busy killing human beings to maximize profits of the munitions makers and the war profiteers. From slaughtering Native Americans to slaughtering the people of the world today, both Democrats and Republicans proudly promote the war machine to maximize the profits of themselves and their patrons, the capitalist class. Democrat Obama just dropped white phosphorous on the people of Afghanistan, paid for with our tax dollars. Where are the peace marches? EVERY SINGLE DAY, DEMOCRAT OBAMA IS SLAUGHTERING THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD WITH OUR TAX DOLLARS. WHERE ARE THE PEACE MARCHES? JROTC is the American Hitler Youth program; a proven military recruiting program, and we San Franciscans pay $1 million a year for this outrage in the public schools of San Francisco, filled with mostly workingclass children. Please note JROTC does not exist in Marin County's public schools; the upper middle class parents would not allow gangs of children marching around in military uniforms with wooden guns in the public schools; their children are not cannon fodder. But they do not hesitate to promote the use of the workingclass as cannon fodder as that is how the rich become rich and richer.
For more (and hopefully Marc Norton will write something soon in beyondchron), and please vote against JROTC (Caving in to political pressure) on the Chronicle's poll, see:

For all of us, the war machine is delivered in the form of higher bus fares, which cannot possibly pay for any bus system; it takes federal income tax money from the progressive income tax, which should be raised on those who make over $200,000 a year, to pay for public transit. The City of San Francisco is robbing Muni (Municipal Railway-our buses and trains) to pay for other city services, including the police. Nobody's wages go up; unemployment is increasing, yet transportation increases in San Francisco. CAN THE WORKINGCLASS OF THIS TOWN CARRY OUT A GENERAL STRIKE? This outrage cannot continue forever.
