"I am generally concerned about regular education classes being conducted by persons with an agenda for recruiting youth," she said.
Yeah, Lady. There's NO "agenda" in the leftist Madison Public School district. Guess you forgot your years on the Skrool Bored and the agenda YOU were pushing, Eh? *Rolleyes*

i think the number of parents objecting is being overstated

A drill sergeant in Madison? Sounds like that's exactly what that city could use.
Actually, I've long thought that bringing personal trainers into schools and setting up programs for students to meet fitness goals would be a worthwhile program, especially in high school.

You'd think this guy was a leper, or a drug dealer instead of an honorable man.

Hmmm....would this fall under any of the "discrimination" laws?

Why am I not surprised this reaction was in Madison?
It would be the same in Ann Arbor Michigan.

"I am generally concerned about regular education classes being conducted by persons with an agenda for recruiting youth. I wonder if this school has a GLBT club, "safe zone"-designated classrooms, or does the "National Day of Silence" thing?
To: stephenjohnbanker
that's why they have "leper appreciation day" and "bring your children out to sell drug days" at public schools. what are you a bigot? :)

If he was gay, and conducting a class in ribbon dancing, you'd never have heard about it.

Oh, puh-llllllleeeze!!
Jumping jacks and push-ups??? I had to do that every year growing up...and my PE teachers may not have been Marine recruiters...but they ACTED like it...and really pushed us.
In 7th grade we HAD to run a 600 yard run to PASS our class.
Whoa...guess what, I survived. LOL
This story, the teachers, parents, and even the students makes me sick.

I'm sure the pathetic parents would be more comfortable if their rotten offspring were instructed by queers and pedophiles. Some Americans don't deserve the protection of those who wear the uniform.....

I think it's a great idea to have a Marine DI running the PE classes.
And the heck with the hidden agenda, people that join the Marines do so because they want to be Marines.
To: Diana in Wisconsin
the classes, which one student said featured an obstacle course and members "screaming" at students "totally Marine-style,"

Oh, I wonder how truly "Marine-style" this class was.. I can think of a few things I doubt they shouted.. but still ring in my ears to this day. ;-)

Ever wonder how liberal parents might react to "Women's Lit" being taught by a man?
We need to get them to discriminate against gender as often and as publicly as possible, in front of students so that the students see the hypocrisy of the Left.

The horror!
Do these schools not have football teams any more? We got screamed at all the time, though never with the honor of having it done by a Marine.

God bless our men and women that serve. May God put stumbling blocks in the path of those that try and destroy our nation and our children.

The recruiters might encourage students, perhaps telling them they'd make good Marines and should consider enlisting, he said. O_O
Oh noes! We can't have this!
