Kevin Berends will introduce the film. Polly Miller and Ken Love of Rochester Against War (RAW) will speak briefly and participate in discussion after the film.
A Documentary about Rochester Against War's effort to get the Junior Officer Reserve Training Corps program out of Rochester City Public Schools.
Why are there only 3 schools in all of Monroe county that have a Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps component- all of them within the inner city and not a single one in the suburban districts?
Is there a link between No Child Left Behind and the government's recruiting strategy for the military?
Doest this constitute indoctrination of our most vulnerable at-risk populations?
Does it even belong in our schools? Or is it OK that it's only in some of them?
Listen to the voices of those in the trenches and decide for yourself.
*Critical Mass is a monthly bicycle ride to celebrate cycling and to assert cyclists' right to the road. Critical mass meets in Rochester on the last Friday of every month at 6 pm at the Liberty Pole on E. Main.
