Teach Peace Foundation  
 
 
April was an exciting month for the Teach Peace Foundation team. We presented the Leaders program and it has been defined by many experts as a superior alternative to JROTC. At the same time, to our shock and amazement, we received exactly the opposite feedback from San Francisco's JROTC Task Force.

We are standing up for the truth (click here to see our letter responding to the JROTC Task Force report).

Our position is any school board mandated "replace JROTC" evaluation process with two JROTC Colonels as key Task Force leaders is unlikely to produce a result. Can you imagine JROTC personnel eliminating their jobs?

We are now meeting with key stakeholders in San Francisco to build our base of support for what could be a very short or a very long struggle for justice. For additional information, please call 530-204-7227.

 
 
IRAN
 
The Scott Ritter presentation on 4/21 was amazing. Teach Peace student leader Jennifer Kocsis did an amazing job facilitating this event. Literally, everyone that provided feedback gave the presentation a superior evaluation (click here anytime you want to evaluate us). The Scott Ritter audio is available by clicking on the below button.

General Petraeus, replacing Admiral William Fallon as the commander of Central Command, is a "finishing touch" to a Bush and Cheney initiated attack on Iran. We have updated the Showdown with Iran and encourage everyone to demand their representatives not allow another unnecessary war.

The warning from the Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Michael Mullen on April 25th is the Pentagon is planning for "potential military courses of action." Secretary of Defense Bob Gates said Iran "is hell-bent on acquiring nuclear weapons." As with Iraq, we find the Joint Chiefs Chairman and Secretary of Defense conveniently sidestepping the most important fact, that the country we are getting ready to attack has no desire to attack us.

Peace be with you, The Teach Peace Foundation Team
