1935 or 2013? "We pledge ourselves not to support the United States in any war it may conduct. We petition Congress to abolish all forms of military training (ROTC) in high schools and colleges.... We protest militarization of the youth in the CCC camps, and we denounce the campaign of the jingo press to inculcate the militaristic spirit among the youth of the country.... We petition Congress to reject all alien and sedition laws pending before them which would...let loose a deportation terror.... We are against all forms of oppression of national and racial minorities in the United States and its possessions, including Mexicans, Negroes, Jews, Japanese, Puerto Ricans and Filipinos. We favor the withdrawal of all United States troops in China, Cuba, the Philippines, and Puerto Rico... We favor the freeing of all those imprisoned in Fascist countries for their militant opposition to war and fascism. We demand the reinstatement of all students of the College expelled for anti-war or anti-fascist activities..." — resolutions passed by ballot during the 1935 Student Strike Against War at a gathering of 3,500 students; an evening rally at CCNY (sometimes referred to as "the little red schoolhouse") was later addressed by New York City African-American Communist Williana Burroughs. In 2013 City College is again the scene of a strikingly similar struggle against militarization and to defend arrested student leaders
