rdf:langString John J. Stanton (born in Wichita Falls, Texas, USA in 1956) is an independent journalist, author, and a former teacher in the Washington, DC metropolitan area. His work focuses largely on national security and cultural topics, including writings on these matters and others over a 35 tie period. He has covered everything from cyberterrorism to orphan nukes and American education and healthcare. His work has been cited in academia and military studies extensively. He designed and led a graduate level seminar titled National Security in the 21st Century at a private school in Northern Virginia. He was suspended from the Arlington Public School System as a school-based substitute for supporting "Putin's logic", based on Putin's perception of the threat to Russia's security posed by NATO expansion and U.S. military and economic support for the Ukrainian government. He also encouraged students to read as many sources as possible on the ongoing conflict, to include "Russian propaganda," plus the New York Times, Washington Post, and dozens of other news outlets pro and con on the war. A video of his remarks was taken by a student in the class. He did not appeal his termination.
