Many PTA meeting nation-wide are all about how they want to make their school a better learning enviroment for all of thier kids, to try to get a good word around their communities. But a recent meeting has just touched on a topic that has not been touched before, military recuirment. In Garfield High School, the PTA is opposing the army and why they are in the students living enviroment. "The mission of the PTA is to protect and defend kids," says Amy Hagopian, a mother of three whose son is a Garfield senior. She wants them to learn about wars that happened in history, not to become part of that history, dying in the battlefields like the Americans that fought in Vietnam.
