It&#8217;s the name of a program sponsored by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.worldcantwait.net\/\">World Can&#8217;t Wait<\/a>, the far Leftist organization which give voice to morons like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=19528\">Elaine Brower<\/a>, Robin Long and Matthis in your children&#8217;s schools. It&#8217;s an attempt to disrupt the military recruitment effort &#8211; an effort that has gone on as long as there have been recruiters. Well, here are some teacher reactions to to the one-sided seminar their students got;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Teacher from Paul Robeson High School [Brooklyn, NY (718) 774-0300] wrote this after having  the We Are Not Your Soldiers Tour in her classroom:<\/p>\n<p>At the time the \u201cWe Are Not Your Soldiers\u201d tour visited Paul Robeson high school, my students were preparing to take the New York State Regents exam. Many of my students have failed the exam at least two times. As their last shot before making the decision to drop out or get a GED, I was concerned that failing the regents exam would encourage some my students to join the military instead.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So now this bubblehead teacher, who hasn&#8217;t taught his\/her students to the minimum requirements of the State Board of Regents is suddenly worried about their future. Well, as long as that future doesn&#8217;t include a stint in the military. And the military doesn&#8217;t want morons in their ranks, but the teaching profession doesn&#8217;t know that, or they don&#8217;t want to know that.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>From Lavie Raven, teacher at Little Village High School [Chicago, IL (773) 535-4200]<\/p>\n<p>The recruitment of our young people for violent wars that have little meaning and rare efficacy, is a criminal offense itself. World Cant Wait has come and talked to students at the Multicultural Arts School the last three years&#8230;.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Three years? Really? Would it be better if the military recruited old people, Lavie? No one is jerking them out of school,or rounding them up in cattle cars and driving them to war&#8230;so explain how recruiting is a criminal offense, you dense cow.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>David Strausbaugh, teacher at Worthington Kilbourne High School Columbus, OH [(614) 883-2550]<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLiz Lazdens and Anthony Wagner, speaking on behalf of World Can\u2019t Wait, recently spoke to classes at our school. They were very organized and informed and the students were engaged in an interactive manner. Anthony\u2019s accounts of his experiences while fighting in Iraq made a particularly strong impression on the students. If teachers are seeking to create discussion about American policy in Iraq and Afghanistan and challenge students to think about how schools should address military recruitment then I would recommend they consider inviting speakers from World Can\u2019t Wait.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Young people from end-to-end of this country have improved their lives by spending a few years in the military. Most were affected more profoundly than they were by their idiot teachers who tried to force their inexperienced opinions on their students. When are teachers going to start teaching and stop indoctrinating students?<\/p>\n<p>How many students have been condemned to a life of ignorance and poverty because of these idiot do-gooders?<\/p>\n<p><object width=\"500\" height=\"333\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/KJbCIL4VO0g?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\"><\/param><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"><\/param><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"><\/param><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/KJbCIL4VO0g?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\"><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You remember &#8220;We Are Not Your Soldiers&#8221;, right?
