Protect Children from Military Recruiters * Urgent, Radical Republicans have put a little known provision in the No Child Left Behind law. Schools are forced to give military recruiters private names and numbers of their students - or they risk losing federal money for education. Take action - kids should not have their private info sent to military recruiters! Stop the militarization of our students and schools! * Buried deep within the No Child Left Behind Act is a provision that requires public high schools to hand over the private contact information of students in public high schools to military recruiters. If a school does not comply, it risks losing vital federal education funds. The Student Privacy Protection Act of 2005 amends section 9528 of No Child Left Behind to prohibit military recruiters from contacting students unless these minors and their parents specifically "opt in" and consent to receive such communications. Host a House Party on June 1 On June 1, concerned parents and citizens across the nation will gather together to fight the military recruiting loophole in No Child Left Behind. Working Assets, The MMOB (Mainstreet Moms) and ACORN have joined forces to create the Web site www.LeaveMyChildAlone.org and organize Opt Out events in all 50 states as well as the 10 largest school districts in the country. Working Assets, in partnership with The MMOB and ACORN, has created a Web site that makes it easy for parents to Opt Out their children from the military recruitment lists public schools are required to provide. You'll find all the information you need at our new site: www.LeaveMyChildAlone.org Go to leavemychildalone.org and protect your child from military recruiters now.
