On involuntary recruitment

I am writing to voice my concern about military recruiting in our public schools.

While I support the troops and the rights of a volunteer military, I do not support our schools helping with involuntary recruitment practices.

The misleadingly named, No Child Left Behind Legislation automatically gives the military the right to take any student's private information without any form of parental permission or notification!

This snooping into students' private school information needs to stop!

The only way to exempt your child from being stalked by recruiters is to sign an "opt-out" letter refusing to allow your child's private contact information to be given to the military head-hunters.

I encourage students and parents all over our state to send a letter to their school's administrators asking them to keep their information private!

A sample form can be found at http://www.militaryfreezone.org/opt_out.
