If you say something that seems like it might have some modicum of intellectual value, I may consider posting it. Until then, I'm not going to provide you a venue for spewing hatred, venom, bile, and stupidity. Start your own blog for that, or go visit the KosKids (if you're not already a registered user).<BR/><BR/>To my other readers: I have no doubt I'll get more comments from anonymous, directed at me personally, because he knows I won't post them. When he's liberal enough to come out of the closet and discuss like a man, using intellect and logic instead of innuendo and snark and name-calling, I'll consider posting his comments. Until then, he's on time-out.Darrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15730642770935985796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-36914944295492738252007-11-27T00:09:00.000-08:002007-11-27T00:09:00.000-08:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-46739504138069625662007-11-26T17:12:00.000-08:002007-11-26T17:12:00.000-08:00Here we go with the "step n fetch it" again.

They've created military schools in areas where an emphasis on discipline, respect, pride, and achievement appear to be needed. If that happens to be where the black students are, then so be it.<BR/><BR/>Oakland Military Institute draws from Oakland, which has a large black population. It also has a large Asian population. Have you checked out the last names of the OMI student body lately?Darrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15730642770935985796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-71260097962336639202007-11-26T16:14:00.000-08:002007-11-26T16:14:00.000-08:00I would've loved going to a military academy.

They propose science and technology high schools with entrance exams. <BR/><BR/>Maybe the enter city needs to academic schools based on entrance exams instead of more step and fetch it high schools.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-75133271618440205402007-11-26T11:34:00.000-08:002007-11-26T11:34:00.000-08:00Mike is exactly correct ...I wish I could have gon...Mike is exactly correct ...<BR/><BR/>I wish I could have gone to one of these high schools ... sophomore year i even tried to move to carlsbad for the Army-Navy Academy but it cost 12,000 a year :(<BR/><BR/>BrookAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-12317334151061456312007-11-25T21:27:00.000-08:002007-11-25T21:27:00.000-08:00Well, of course the critics of ROTC programs and m...Well, of course the critics of ROTC programs and military schools are absolutely correct. Why, imagine the consequences for society if children were taught to be punctual, polite, disciplined, intellectually and physically capable and focused, capable ot taking competent direction and of giving it, and, worst of all, imagine the horror of a generation of children who became--gasp!--patriotic and thankful for the extraordinary opportunities America provides. They might even be willing, God forbid, to do what is necessary to see that future generations have those same opportunities.<BR/><BR/>The mind boggles.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
