ADOPT-A-SCHOOL

What a concept! Just imagine if you as a taxpayer, a parent, a peace activist, or some other type of stakeholder could actually have a say in addressing the increasing militarization of our schools and young people!

Well you can!

Use the PDF files below to assemble your own Adopt-A-School program that we have initiated at 35 LAUSD high schools! Your neighborhood high school deserves your attention. The gaping hungry maw of the military death machine has ransacked our national treasury, frittered away our taxes to corporate welfare death merchants like Lockheed-Martin, and trapped our youth in a no-win game that leads to the military or prison, and alienates the whole planet. Is this right? Is this the America that we all grew up with? The America that was (is it still?) a vision for hope and an end to poverty, racism and war?

To quote Allen Ginsburg:

"Poor dead flower? when did you forget you were a
flower? when did you look at your skin and
decide you were an impotent dirty old locomo-
tive? the ghost of a locomotive? the specter and
shade of a once powerful mad American locomo-
tive?" --Sunflower Sutra
