June 4, 2009

From The Boston Globe: The U.S. Marine Corps is wooing public school districts across the country, expanding a network of military academies that has grown steadily. The Marines are talking with at least six districts -- including in suburban Atlanta, New Orleans and Las Vegas -- about opening schools where every student wears a uniform, participates in Junior ROTC and takes military classes. Those schools would be on top of more than a dozen public military academies that have already opened nationwide.
