Here’s what Norman Yee told me last fall:
“I will not vote to bring back JROTC to the schools. I have always said that I support JROTC if it meets state requirements. But since it doesn’t, I’m not for bringing it back. People ask these yes-or-no questions, and they don’t understand what my position really is.”
This morning the Chronicle reports that he’s ready to vote to bring the program back.
What’s happening? I haven’t been able to reach Yee today, but if he’s changed his position, that would be a serious disappointment, since many of us endorsed him for re-election in part because he had the courage to vote down JROTC last time around.
The vote is tonight.
