DESCRIPTION:Visiting Teachers are: Yoshie Yoneyama, Etsuko Sato, Eriko Kojima and 
 Tadashi Misumi\n\nActivist anti-war teachers from Japan have been 
 organizing to oppose the militarization of the schools by refusing to stand 
 and sing the nationalist anthem “Kimigayo” that supports the emperor 
 system. As a result of their protest, they have been threatened with firing 
 and discipline. Hundreds of them are now engaged in court cases in Tokyo 
 and around the country to fight this repression for their anti-war views. 
 They have received support from the Los Angeles UTLA and many other unions 
 in the US. They will be joined by teachers and other organizers against 
 militarization in US schools. \n.\nSee
