military recruitment of high school students Oh, this is terrible, terrible! Soldiers are going to allowed to ask your son, your daughter, if they want to join the Army! And the next thing you know they will be running around in Iraq, killing burning babies! My Friends, we got trouble! lindybill@troubleinrivercity.com

OK, so the military wants the same ability to market to seniors that Universities and Corporation get. No more, no less. Sure the language sounds draconian but must regulations sound draconian. The country is at war and the military wants the same information that other institutions gets for recruitment purposes. Seems logical to me. I fail to see the early warning sign indicating TEOTWASKI. If you don't want your children to be approached you can opt out. Hey, the government can draft the kids. This is seems pretty mild. Paul

From your link - "Congress has passed two major pieces of legislation that generally require local educational agencies (LEAs) receiving assistance under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA) to give military recruiters the same access to secondary school students as they provide to postsecondary institutions or to prospective employers. LEAs are also generally required to provide students’ names, addresses, and telephone listings to military recruiters, when requested.
