document Letter: Call to Ban JROTC Programs in Schools

This letter is designed to advocate for the removal of Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps (JROTC) programs from schools. The purpose is to highlight concerns about how these programs influence young people by promoting military values and potentially exposing them to recruitment efforts before they are old enough to make fully informed decisions about their futures.

The letter emphasizes the importance of maintaining schools as environments that foster critical thinking, empathy, and nonviolent conflict resolution, rather than spaces that normalize militarism or hierarchy. It also raises ethical concerns about exposing students—especially teenagers who are still forming their worldviews—to military ideologies at such a formative stage in their lives.

By sending such a letter, the writer seeks to inspire policymakers, educational authorities, and the public to prioritize alternatives that focus on leadership, civic engagement, and community service without the ties to military influence. Let me know if you'd like to refine the explanation or add more context!
