Teaching War on Campus

Today I went to the city dump to pick up wood chips, something I have done many times before. Tonight I wrote an email to some explaining how the Reserved Officer’s Training Program (ROTC) has changed, something I have done before. I must admit that throwing the wood chips down on the garden was more rewarding than throwing down some more words of why “teaching of war” should not be in Catholic colleges and universities. But both are necessary and need to be done. The wood chips will enrich the soil in the garden around the plants. Hopefully these words will help clarify why I believe as Christians we must resist teaching war and military values on Christian campuses.

Not Your Father’s Military

Perhaps all military training should be on military bases, not in our schools.
