Membership in the JROTC program is a right, the right of free association by the members. You have yet to refute this claim. Are we to say that the children of San Francisco should be denied this right by the School Board? Is it within their power to deny this right?

Correct me if I am wrong, but it is my understanding that the rights we have in this country come not from government but rather from God. If this is true and according to all historical data regarding our founding, it must be assumed that it is, then the School Board does not have the power to remove this right from the children.

Conservatism, I repeat is not an ideology. It does not breed fanatics....But if you want men who seek, reasonably and prudently, to reconcile the best in wisdom of our ancestors with the change which is essential to a vigorous civil social existence, then you will do well to turn to conservative principles
