No Child Unrecruited
Edited on Thu Oct-06-05 12:40 PM by djohnson
Excuse the repost but I wasn't sure if anyone noticed my response to:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=post&forum=104

Is this True?

Just found something intersting (edit: "horrifying") at:
http://www.motherjones.com/news/outfront/2002/11/ma_153_01.html


"the No Child Left Behind Act, President Bush's sweeping new education law passed earlier this year. There, buried deep within the law's 670 pages, is a provision requiring public secondary schools to provide military recruiters not only with access to facilities, but also with contact information for every student -- or face a cutoff of all federal aid."

Is this really a law that * has been biding his time in enforcing it on us?

Search the DU archives: There are years' worth of stories about jurisdictions and parents fighting back, personal anecdotes about school system reactions, et al.

Peace.

to force kids to provide their personal information? The article and the Duval county school district contradict that.
